Following the release of his new singles, “Prime” and “Rosary” earlier this year, mid-Michigan Indie/Alternative solo artist Young Ritual released his debut EP, You Can Be Beautiful, Too on December 7th, 2018. Stream the album now below!
You Can Be Beautiful, Too gives us insight into Grantham’s treasure chest of influences, with wonky folk numbers about gentrification like “Genesee County”, all the way to the huge, echo laden drums in the dreamiest of dark pop in “Rosary”. The EP serves as a way for Grantham to face the ugly parts of life with nuance, charm, and cutting lyricism. There’s a weight in every track that feels like you’re watching an artist work through this life in real time. It feels like you relate to the things that you shouldn’t, but that’s the human condition at work.
This year, Singer/Songwriter Dylan Grantham has never stopped. He’s been working obsessively and has released two successful singles, “Prime” and “Rosary”, with the latter accompanied by a darkly beautiful music video. Now, his hard work brings us “You Can Be Beautiful, Too”, a work he started in January of this year.
