LA-based pop artist Caroline Grace is excited to her debut EP, Afraid Of The Dark, out everywhere now. After releasing a series of singles over the last two years, Caroline and producer JD Walker worked together to bring an idea, that started as a conversation with her mother, come to life.
“I initially got the idea for Afraid Of The Dark when talking to my mom about how you develop film in a dark room,” Caroline explains. “I began to think that everyone has a dark room within their mind. A place where they hide all the shit they don’t want to deal with or don’t want anyone to see. Just like how you can’t bring a photo into the light until it is fully developed, a person can’t be their best true and authentic self until they are fully developed, which only happens when they open up their dark room and have the courage to clean it out. It is only then that you can truly Illuminate(my motto), inspire other people, and shine through the darkness. Often times, we think, myself included, that no-one wants to see all the stuff we hide. That people only want the best version of us or nothing at all. So we hide away all of our dark parts (a lot of which actually make us who we are) out of fear of being rejected. The EP was sort of my way of dealing with the clutter in my dark room.”
