Grace Potter on the meaning of “Release”: “I wrote ‘Release’ about letting go of grief & pain in order to forge a better way forward. It’s the most personal song I have ever written – but since I wrote it, it’s taken on a far more powerful meaning.  Everything changed this year and never has a song felt more relevant or connected to the human experience as it does in this moment. We are all ready to heal. We’re all ready for a little release.”

Produced by Eric Valentine, the emotionally raw Daylight is a resilient rollercoaster of sparkling songwriting and unforgettable performances — a commanding, career-defining statement of power and purpose.  The album was released in October of 2019 to wide acclaim by both fans and critics alike.

The twin GRAMMY nominations are the second and third of Grace’s career. The 63rd GRAMMY Awards will be broadcast on CBS on Sunday, January 31st, 2021 at 8pm ET / 5pm PT.
