Robert Grace

Irish singer/songwriter Robert Grace writes wry, relatable, and poignant pop songs rooted in love, loss, and mental health themes. Emerging in 2016 with the EP Talk to Me, the Kilkenny native found regional success with the singles “Boomerang,” “Golden,” “Wanna Love,” and “Fake Fine,” the latter of which reached the upper echelons of the Irish charts and eventually went platinum. His international breakthrough came in 2023 with the release of “Casper,” a song about social anxiety that garnered millions of streams worldwide. The like-minded “Not Ok,” which appeared in early 2024, followed a similar trajectory. Both tracks were featured on Grace’s first full-length effort and major-label debut, Happy Sad Songs, released later that June. ~ James Christopher Monger
