Grace Petrie delivers deft wordplay in the Frank Turner produced ‘Fixer Upper’. The video is simply shot with the singer delivering the biting yet hopeful lyrics in a large room performing solo. The single is from the latest collection, ‘Build Something Better’ available now on all streaming services.
“One day when I was scrolling social media with the usual sense of dread and doom about the world, the poem ‘Good Bones’ by Maggie Smith rolled underneath my eyes” Grace explains of the inspiration. “I burst into tears. I hadn’t read anything that spoke so keenly to the desperation that I, along with everyone I know, feel about where this troubled, broken world is heading.”
Petrie is planning several festival appearances throughout the rest of the year.
