Grace VanderWaal Reinvents Herself on ‘Childstar’: ‘I Have Nothing to Lose’
Grace VanderWaal discusses new album 'Childstar,' what fans can expect from the project, her record deal with Pulse Records and more.
After winning America’s Got Talent as a precocious, ukulele-toting 12-year-old in 2016, VanderWaal was fast-tracked into a major-label pop career, which stalled following her 2017 debut, Just the Beginning. Childstar is a concept album with dark edges that unpacks the uncomfortable truths of growing up in the spotlight — and provided some long-overdue catharsis. On a song like “Proud,” you sing about seeking validation as a child and feeling controlled, and the listener can’t help but think about how your career began.
