“Grace” is the title of the new single from Marcus Mumford, out today. The track appears on his debut solo album, self-titled, after breaking away from Mumford and Sons. Danielle Ponder, who will be joining Mumford on his fall tour as a supporting vocalist, is featured on the track along with bassist Pino Paladino. You can listen to the song below.
The track is quite soulful, with Mumford’s gravelly voice accompanied by Ponder’s backing vocals. The production is softer than what Mumford and Sons are known for, employing light percussion and acoustic instruments. But Mumford’s songwriting is at its finest on “Grace” in the form of him clearly expressing some catharsis and the deep tension in his voice during the chorus. There is a lot of pain in this song, but also some hope and, as the title suggests, grace.
Its accompanying video is a literal up-close and personal, eye-level jaunt through the mind of someone trying to overcome. As Mumford desperately drinks water from a tall glass, the majority of it spills down his face, a moment which is repeated several times throughout the video. Though the sound of the song is mellow in tempo, there is a much more soulful and active undertone to the video, which mirrors the feeling of the track.
Mumford’s upcoming album self-titled is set to release on September 16, you can pre-order special edition vinyls and more here. Mumford is going on North American tour this fall, dates are below.
