Grace Carter Shares Heart-Wrenching Version of ‘Wicked Game’
London born, Brighton raised singer/songwriter Grace Carter has recorded a heart-wrenching version of Chris Isaak’s classic 1989 single Wicked Game.
I adore Grace's vocals and Wicked Game is one of my all-time favourite songs and this cover is simply breathtakingly beautiful. In the 30 years since its release the song has been re-worked and remixed by several artists and this version has to be one of my favourites. Grace's soulful and powerful vocals perfectly convey the emotion of the lyrics and the emotive piano-based melody just sealed the deal for me. Check it out below!
Speaking about this cover, Grace said,
I love this song. Someone suggested I did a cover of it and when I listened back it really resonated with me and my experiences with love, loss and feelings of vulnerability.
Grace’s latest original recording was the brilliant ‘Don’t Hurt Like It Used To’ which saw Grace in fine form.
Watch out for an exciting summer ahead for Grace with live shows locked in all over the world – see below for the latest run – plus a new single coming soon.
