Words: Sam Geary
Isaac Gracie follows the release of this year's self-titled debut album with new EP, 'Close Up - Looking Down' out on November 16 through Virgin EMI.
The first track to be lifted from it - premiered last night on Radio One by Annie Mac as her Hottest Record - ’Show Me Love’, is accompanied by
Jackson Ducasse's video.
"Coming out of the first record I was in a redemptive headspace and wanted to write songs with a more empowered tone, and record them in a more optimistic light," says Gracie on the track adding, "With this video I wanted to do something in my neighbourhood for the first time; the idea came from the fact that I’d taken up skipping as a means to keep fit over summer and a desire to spoof upon my futile efforts, whilst the tennis game against myself loosely represents the somewhat melodramatic nature of the song, a kind of reflection of the inwardly conflicted state of the protagonist.
“Myself and my friend Jackson Ducasse worked on the idea together.”
