Mistakes are a part of any relationship. Forgiveness and understanding are important in order to move on and thrive. However, some people continuously cross boundaries without taking accountability. This is the story told in “99” by Grace Luv. Grace Luv describes the experience of giving someone multiple chances only for them to let you down with powerful lyrics such as “Go ahead and tell me all your empty promises” and “I can’t believe it’s you again and all your bullshit.” Eventually you have to draw the line somewhere and find the power to leave, and that’s how Grace Luv ends her story.
This track begins with subtle vocals and harmonies over a bass melody. The pre-chorus introduces guitar and percussion. After the chorus is a groovy instrumental break before the introduction of the second verse. The vocals are mellow and cool while still delivering the emotional value of the song and showing off technical prowess. The final chorus layers the guitar and percussion tracks with impressive vocal harmonies. By doing this, the final verse has a certain emotional punch while keeping in line with the subtle and subdued mood of the rest of the song. The backing track cuts out for the final line, leaving the audiences to consider the powerful messaging of the song.
Grace Luv is a 16 year old singer, songwriter, and actress. She has been singing since the age of 5, when she took her first piano lesson. Since then, her career has been blossoming beautifully with the release of emotional and artistic works such as “exile” and “Bridges”. She has had numerous successful performances at places such as Monument Square Park in New Brunswick, and performing the National Anthem for a University of Notre Dame basketball game. Her next performance will be at the Jupiter Seafood Festival where she will be opening for Maddie and Tae on February 21st.
