Harper Grae Releases Debut Album ‘Break Your Crowns’

Onerpm recording artist Harper Grae releases her debut album, Break Your Crowns, today (Oct. 6). Grae co-wrote nearly every track on the 10-song album, which was produced by Ethan Brewington and Josh Barker.

Among the writers on the album is Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame member Pat Alger. Grae also includes a cover of Garth Brooks’ “The Thunder Rolls” on the album. Grae recently released the album’s second single, “Good In Your Goodbye.”

“The tone of the album definitely reflects who I am as an artist, and where I am at this stage of life,” Grae explained. “It was important to me that my very first full album be one that actually says something, and also reflects the music I grew up listening to. We use lots of strings, like acoustic guitar, mandolin and even some banjo, as well as heavy percussion on the uptempo songs. It’s youthful and spirited, but also at times a little heavy and dark, like life. I’m really proud of the record and very appreciative of the great musicians and producers who helped me make this record.”

Grae moved to Nashville shortly after her run on the popular TV show Glee Project 2 to pursue a career in country music.
