Gracie Ella conveys a beautiful combination of soulful vocals, vulnerable songwriting, and a wide array of diverse influences in her music. Through her art, she wants more than anything to comfort listeners. About her latest single, Ella shares how confident she has become with herself and how she doesn’t desire anything but her own independence and invincibility.
Ella sings passionately, “When I’m uncomfortable, I remember where I’ve been and when I fall, I know where I fit in. I’m invincible, I’m wearing all my sins, and I wanna let you know that I’m comfortable in my own skin.” With producing and writing contributions from Jesse Singer and Chris Soper, Ella was able to write what she calls one of the most genuine songs she’s ever written.
“We sent it off to several music executives, but it never received a huge reaction,” Ella stated. “That did not discourage me, however, from bringing the song into the world. Years went by and I went through many life changes and much hardship in my personal life. I had planned to release a few other songs, but I knew that the day I released ‘Skin’ would be an especially healing time in my life.”

“Every single mistake that I have made has made me into the woman I am today. And everybody who hurt me that’s okay, I’ve got a thousand scars and I am grateful, grateful.” – lyrics
After losing her beloved pet cat Mosey, Ella knew she had to finally record “Skin” in order to bring herself out of her sadness and grief. In April 2024 she called up her friend and producer/multi-instrumentalist/songwriter Derek Downham to help her with the single.
“We finished the song in 3 sessions,” Ella stated. “The vocal take was one take, with no autotune. Although there is nothing wrong with using autotune, it can very easily be overused. Derek was and is incredibly supportive towards me emotionally and musically. He knew that the song deserved to be recorded with real instrumentation and focused on capturing a real performance while adding sounds that enhanced that performance.”
As relatable and down-to-earth lyrics coincide with soft acoustic guitars and Ella’s signature soul, “Skin” is as pleasing to the ear as it is comforting and peaceful to the mind.
