She wants to be someone younger people look up to, “there’s so much strength in being vulnerable. That is something that’s so important to me because I remember being young and feeling really confused.” I also just want to make a difference in someone’s life. “Obviously I want to be super successful and tour the world and play at massive venues, and sell lots of albums and all of that stuff. Luckily, through having an amazing mother, I was pushed in the direction of embracing it and using it as a tool to better myself,” she pauses, “and connect with people and help other people.” Recently she’s been thinking about her career goals. “I felt so much so young and I was kind of exposed to so much so young that it meant that I could have gone one of two ways. She credits her preternaturally contemplative view of relationships as growing up an only child with her single mother, often the only child at the dinner table, listening to adults discuss their failing or broken marriages. “Whether that be family, or romantic, I don’t know any relationship in my life! I don’t know what it is with me with bad luck in relationships.” She elaborates, “a lot of my songs have been about my, kind of, relationship, or lack of relationship with my biological father.” “I feel like a lot of my songs have been about relationships not working out,” Carter says. It just wasn’t meant to be, and I’m better off without it.” Deciding, to take the time for myself, and the space for myself, to say, ‘okay, this is no one’s fault. She says the song is about taking a step back and reflecting, “taking the higher ground with something not working out. “ It proves so much that you don’t always need a super, fancy expensive studio to get a good song finished.”īlame is signature Carter, a luxuriously soul-searching pop R&B song featuring rich melodies and simple but poignant lyrics. “So then we both messaged each other, like, ‘okay this could be interesting.’” After brief back-and-forth Carter wrote Blame, and sent it to Banks thinking, “he’s either going to love this or absolutely going to hate it, and he was like, ‘Yes! Let’s record vocals tomorrow.’” In true Coronavirus fashion they recorded the vocals on Zoom, “which is, like, the new normal for everyone right now, which I just can’t get my head around,” she laughs. “The whole story of Blame was that I had received a tweet, just as we had gone into lockdown, saying ‘if the world is ending, the last collaboration I want is Jacob Banks and Grace Carter’”, she reveals. It was an idea from a fan that sparked the fire.
