SYCO Entertainment/Columbia Records singer/songwriter Grace VanderWaal has released her new single "Clearly." The song is a reprise of Johnny Nash's "I Can See Clearly Now" with new and original lyrics - listen to the anthemic track HERE.

"Clearly" is Grace's first official release following her debut album, "Just the Beginning," in November. Check out her appearance on "CBS This Morning" HERE.
"My new single 'Clearly' is about hope, and having the courage to face the world, which can be pretty tough sometimes," Grace said. "My favorite lyric from the song is 'I accept all the things that I cannot change'. As much as we try to change ourselves, we will always be the same person deep down. We should embrace what makes us different and love that about ourselves."
Grace is set to begin her run opening for Imagine Dragons on their extended North American "Evolve Tour" on June 5. For a full list of dates, visit https://gracevanderwaal.com/tour/.
