Tara Macri Finds Hope, Connection and Memory in New Single “Grace”

Everyone has a Grace. It could be someone who remains a part of their everyday life, someone they have lost, or even someone they only knew briefly but who left a lasting impact. That idea sits at the heart of Tara Macri’s stunning new single, “Grace”, released on 31 July.

Rather than focusing on heartbreak or loss, Macri explores something much more universal: the people who continue to live on through the memories, lessons and moments they leave behind. The cinematic pop track invites listeners to reflect on one simple but powerful question: Who is your Grace?

The song began at Tara’s piano during a period of reflection, as she wondered whether someone she deeply missed could somehow send her a sign that they were okay. As the writing process developed, the meaning behind the song expanded beyond her own personal experience, becoming a tribute to the connections that shape everyone’s lives.

“I realised we all have those people,” Tara says. “The ones who shape us, stay with us, and become part of who we are.”

That emotional honesty is what makes “Grace” such a powerful listen. Instead of remaining rooted in sadness, the track finds beauty in remembrance and celebrates the idea that the people who influence us never truly disappear. Their presence continues through the person we become.

A Billboard-charting singer-songwriter, Broadway performer and award-winning actress, Tara Macri has built an impressive career across music, film, television and theatre. Her credits include performances in productions such as Hairspray, Jersey Boys and The First Wives Club, alongside lending her voice to Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Scroll. However, songwriting remains the place where she is able to share her most personal stories.

Produced by Jordan “AliasOne” Winfield and mixed by five-time GRAMMY Award winner Chris Lord-Alge, “Grace” blends intimate storytelling with soaring pop production. Beginning with a delicate piano melody, the track gradually builds into an uplifting anthem that feels equally suited for personal reflection, cinematic moments and unforgettable live performances.

The release is accompanied by a cinematic music video filmed in New York by filmmakers Julia Baylis and Sam Guest. Bringing the emotional world of the song to life, the visuals add another layer to Macri’s message of memory, connection and the lasting impact of the people who help shape our journeys.

With “Grace”, Tara Macri delivers a heartfelt reminder that love, influence and connection can continue long after someone has left our lives. It is a song about remembering, honouring and recognising the people who become part of who we are.

Tara Macri’s “Grace” is a moving celebration of the people we carry with us forever.
