Named a “rising star” by People Magazine, Rachel Grae is one of this year’s fastest growing talents - Rolling Stone also just called her an artist you should have On Your Radar. Today, she’s released a heartfelt song of loss “Hope You’re Proud” on Stand Up To Cancer Day. Followers of Grae’s work won’t be surprised by her painfully honest songwriting. It's her diary, and a way to say all of the things she can’t without music. Grae’s close relationship with her fans is what really helped her decide to release the song. After posting teasers on TikTok her “friend-base” left comments of dates they lost someone they loved. In response, Grae shares “Everyone grieves loss in a different way, and this song has helped me through my own grieving processes. I hope it can provide a similar healing process for listeners.”

The single follows Grae’s previous ripped-from-her-diary songs, like “Outsider” with 25.5M streams, heartfelt ballad dedicated to complicated Mother-Daughter relationships, “Daughter” (People), mad girl starter pack single “You Suck” and “How Dare You,” performed for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and featured on the season finale of Love Island UK.
