Just The Beginning is the debut album by American singer-songwriter Grace Vanderwaal. The album contains hit singles “Moonlight” and “Sick Of Being Told.”
In early 2017, Grace told Billboard in a interview that she started working on the album and talked about the album by saying:
This is definitely my more “I don’t care” album, like I don’t care what anyone else thinks about it. I definitely want it to be more produced because that’s what I like and that’s me. I think I get too hung up on what people think about it. I’ll never make everyone happy, so why do I even care anymore? I’m still really the same sound, because I can’t really change my style or else it will feel forced – and I always think that definitely shows through. It just won’t be a good song because people will hear that it’s kind of forced and not organic. It’ll be less acoustic, though, and kind of how I envision the songs when I’m writing."
Grace also explained about her experience with writing sessions by saying:
Every single one I’ve had so far were pretty uncomfortable in the beginning, because songs are the most personal thing ever, so it’s hard to write a deep song because you literally walk into a room, introduce yourself, and then say like, “Let me completely open up to you about my personal life. ”But once you’re on a roll, it’s not uncomfortable."
