Australian singer/songwriter/actress Grace Cummings releases her third album, Ramona, this Friday via ATO. Now he's shared another song from it, “A Precious Thing,” via a music video. Check it out below, followed by Cummings' upcoming tour dates, including some shows with King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard.
Cummings said of the dramatic song in a press release: “I wrote this song on Christmas Eve 2022. I think it's pretty self-explanatory. This song used to scream the scream of an eagle. We decided to take that part out and replace it with a Timpani.”
Cummings is also an accomplished stage actress, which explains some of the theatricality in her music and the power of her voice. Produced by Jonathan Wilson Ramona. The album's title and title track were inspired by Bob Dylan's 1964 song “To Ramona”.
“I didn't want to be myself, so I decided to be Ramona, full of tension and melodrama,” Cummings explains in a press release. “For me there is a lot of safety in wearing a costume or a mask. sometimes it seems like the only way to express any real honesty or vulnerability.”
