The best kept secret in music

"The songs are beautiful and honest about all aspects of love. She radiates on stand-out tracks such as Thief In The Night, Time, Send Me Someone and What Doesn't Kill You. Her sultry vocals caress each song with a soul kiss - deep and passionate." - Talent In Motion Magazine
"The lady can sing... she is not just singing - she's communicating something about which she feels strongly. The arrangements on 'Lovers Never Lie' alternate between traditional piano-and-bass driven tracks and a more electronic and modern approach that successfully updates the genre. Character is the quality of great performers and it's definitely not lacking here." - The Deli Music Magazine
"Grace gave everyone a taste of the new album when she took to the stage for an always-captivating interactive live performance at the release party. After years of performing in New York City, Grace Garland has finally found the right team and the right material to put together a full-length album that emodies all the she feels. Grace is set to share her unique fusion of jazz and contemporary R&B on an album which critics are saying speaks to women everywhere." - Caribbean Life Newspaper
"... her debut album of jazz-infused R&B has mor sass, soul and a send of humor to spare. With commanding, husky vocals that would sound right at home grounding a '90's club anthem, girlfriend can sell a song with sex appeal, too, as in the smoldering title track..." - HX Magazine

Bio
Grace Garland, singer-actress-songwriter, brings a unique fusion of jazz and contemporary R&B to her ultra-sultry lyrics. Graces music is an intimate experience; its that innervoice, that voice behind closed doors after having a few martinis with your girlfriends, or that voice that youre only courageous enough to share with yourself. Grace Garlands music speaks to women, allowing for reflection, empowerment and feel-good moments.
Grace has been an entertainer from the beginning. She is known for her stunning solo performances and for sharing the spotlight with her band The G-Spot Band as well as a variety of musicians including: the late Phyllis Hyman; Jazz Flutist Bobbi Humphrey; Grammy Award-Winning Songwriter Julie Gold; The Carl Orrie Trio, Peter Cincotti, Rob Thomas and John Mayer.
When shes not singing, Graces voice can be heard on countless TV and radio spots, most notably with actor James Earl Jones and the legendary blues guitarist B. B. King. Graces film & TV credits include; Qs Mom (Omar Epps mother in the Hip-Hop cult classic Juice); the voice of Aunt Debra in Bill Cosbys animated series Little Bill; Thicker Than Blood
(TNT) with Dan Futterman; three seasons in the sketch comedy
ensemble of the Apollo Comedy Hour (National Syndication) originating new characters as well as parodying everyone from Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to Tina Turner; and the relationship therapist, Dr. Love in the romantic comedy 30 Years to Life starring former SNLs Tracy Morgan.
However, Grace is most proud of her work as a volunteer entertainer for Lifebeat Hearts & Voices, where she performs for patients living with AIDS. The ability to make someone smile and forget their problems, if even for a minute, is what Grace says
it is all about.
Today, Grace is gearing up for the November Release of her debut solo album, Lovers Never Lie (In Bed), through Shark Meat Records. The album is the definition of Grace: sexy, honest and passionate - without apologies.
