Until now, Wish Queen - aka Cleveland-based singer/songwriter Grace Sullivan - has been singing and writing music in the shadows, sharing glimpses of her larger vision only with a select few. Some strange stranglehold of blockages and fear made her art too difficult to share on a broader scale.
Emerging from the sweet shyness of her youth, Grace used the 2020 lockdown and her astrological Saturn Return as a catalyst for self actualization, and an opportunity to transform herself into the artist she always was, deep down. In astrology, the Saturn Return is when Saturn comes back to the place it was when you were born, signifying the full maturation of your chart - and bringing with it growth, reality checks, and commitment to one's own life.
Mystical and moving, Wish Queen transforms the intangible feelings of desire and yearning into moving melodies, ranging from danceable pop to deliciously introspective ballads you'd love to sit alone and cry to. Blending her rich, classic vocals and long-hidden poetry with layered reverb and synth-based production styles, Wish Queen transports her listeners to a myriad of times and places all at once.
Drawing inspiration from various Queens that came before her, including Billie Holiday, Joni Mitchell, Fiona Apple, Lana Del Rey, Weyes Blood, and Ethel Cain, Wish Queen has created a unique sweet spot that is all her own, and invites you to immerse yourself in her dream world.
