Nolo Grace: "Miss Perfect"
From Wall Street to Hollywood, Nolo Grace Breaks Free
On the heels of her debut single, Wake Up featuring Sean Kingston with over 100K streams in the first three weeks, Nolo Grace follows up with the summer hit Miss Perfect on May 26.
Catchy, quirky, and unapologetic, Miss Perfect is an alt-pop-R&B anthem of individuality and female empowerment. A pure reflection of her reinvention, it takes inspiration from her journey of shedding her corporate identity and destructive thought processes. With two Ivy League degrees and following a steep rise in the corporate and non-profit worlds, Nolo Grace found herself in a place of complete burnout – the lifestyle and success of her New York City life and corporate identity couldn’t make up for her deep unhappiness, stress, and unfulfillment. The string of troubled romantic relationships and late nights partying were nothing but a mirror of the harshness of the hostile environment she has created for herself in exchange for the promise of future happiness. She decided to leave that all behind to reconnect with her true self – and her dream of pursuing music. This took her on a nomadic quest around the globe and eventually to Los Angeles, where she ended up settling in 2017. Her new single, Miss Perfect marks the 5-year anniversary of that transition and reflects on her transformation and wisdom gained. As a person, professional, and artist – Nolo Grace has ditched the idea of being Miss Perfect, and in the process discovered that acceptance and self-love can open the doors of opportunity for the future she has always envisioned for herself.
“’Miss Perfect’ so perfectly marks the completion of a cycle for me—of creating the life I have always dreamed of—by coming to a place of self-love and self-acceptance. I wrote ‘Miss Perfect’ the day before I moved in with my then-boyfriend as LA was going on lockdown. We had only been dating for 3 months at that point, and two days later we were married and living in quarantine together. My husband and I found ourselves in quarantine working on our solo projects together, navigating through the challenges of finding our voices and creating for ourselves after so many years of creating and working to support other peoples’ visions. In quarantine, I grew into being an artist and found love. It was a period of going inward, and now I’m ready to share and engage with the world.”
From the soulful vocals to the addictively hybrid R&B/Club vibes, hypnotic synth lines, and impressionistic soundscape of the music surrounding her, “Miss Perfect” reveals the many X-factors of Nolo Grace on full display. Teamed-up once more with her partner in songwriting, Natalie Elaine Bortolotti (Warner/Chappell), and co-produced with Martin Wave (Vince Staples/Alok/NCT-Dream/Pell/Dotan/Sylo Nozra/Chloe Lilac/COTIS), everyone has brought their undeniable A-game to Miss Perfect. Stocked with relatable words and relevant sound for the here and now – Miss Perfect is a journey of Grace breaking away from what once held her back, and leveling-up for her future to follow.
Based out of L.A., Nolo Grace’s new single, Miss Perfect, will be available on every major music platform online this May 26 with a music video release planned for the weeks to follow. Excited to share her latest with listeners from all corners of the map, and ready to continue surging through the rest of the year with a slate of singles, music videos, and an album to follow.
