Британский певец Саймон Уэббе, бывший участник успешного бойз-бенда Blue. “Grace” – это 12 треков, объединенных настроением и тематикой, созданных в стиле «урбан-фолк». Каждая песня – это личное переживание, субъективный опыт певца, его рассказ о годах, проведенных в Манчестере. Теплая, одухотворенная и живая работа. Заглавный трек альбома - “Grace” - Саймон посвятил своей матери, ее решению отправить трудного подростка на остров ее детства. «Я уехал туда мальчиком, а вернулся мужчиной», - вспоминает Саймон.
