SONG PICK: Grace Savage - Medusa

Grace Savage is a musician, actor and beatboxer. Beatboxer? I didn’t know that this is still a thing, but you can hear the influence in her new track “Medusa”, an elegant trip-hoppy piece of synth pop. With the song she kicks off her career as a solo musician. Grace
