Daniel Grace, a rising star in the UK hip-hop scene, drops his deeply personal single Hearing You Call, a soul-stirring tribute to his late girlfriend, Chloe, who tragically took her own life. This soulful track, infused with raw emotion is the lead single from his forthcoming five-track EP, Life, set to resonate with anyone who has faced loss and found strength in memory.
Hearing You Call blends hip-hop’s gritty pulse with a haunting guitar backdrop crafted by Mick Williams, a collaborator from Grace’s university days at SAE. The track’s inception came during late-night creative sessions with Anthony Russell in a humble bedroom studio, where the duo penned the chorus and bridge, pouring their hearts into lyrics that capture the ache of absence. Seeking to elevate the track’s emotional depth, Grace reached out to one of Chloe’s favorite rappers, K Koke, whose hard-hitting bars, starting with the poignant “Yo Chlo,” struck a profound chord. K Koke’sverses, recorded in London with engineer Benji, weave a narrative that mirrors Grace’s grief, creating a seamless connection between the artists.
The track’s organic sound, recorded in a self-built studio on Paul Street, Liverpool, channels the rawness of loss. Grace, as audio producer, meticulously crafted a soundscape that feels intimate, aiming to offer solace to listeners navigating their own pain. The accompanying music video, directed by Ged Roberts, transforms the song’s story into a cinematic Blue Story-style narrative. Filmed in a Shrewsbury jail with a meticulously storyboarded vision, the video delivers movie-level quality, immersing viewers in a tale of love, loss, and redemption.
Hearing You Call is the cornerstone of the Life EP, which explores the highs and lows of real-world experiences through tracks like Pressure, Choices, Redemp
