Mckenna Grace Releases New Single 'Ugly Crier'

Emmy nominated singer, songwriter and actress Mckenna Grace releases her new track and visualizer for "Ugly Crier" today via Photo Finish Records.

Showcasing her undeniable song writing skills, Mckenna's growing musical fan base eagerly awaited the tracks arrival after her recent teasing of the audio on Tik Tok, a platform where the rising stars has over 63M views and more than 3M followers.

"Ugly Crier" follows directly on the heels of the multi-million streaming "Self Dysmorphia", which was performed Live on The Today Show. "Ugly Crier" is also the first single to be featured on Mckenna's debut EP which is due out early Spring 2023.

With the release of "Ugly Crier's comes a playful and visually stunning music video directed by Grace and Gus Black.

Of the track, Mckenna states,"I wrote this song after I went to this Hollywood party with a bunch of celebrities and felt completely out of place. I didn't know it was more of a black tie type of party and I showed up in my Taylor Swift cardigan with a bright lime green slimer purse. It was humiliating. All of these older, cool girls that I look up to were laughing and running around together and I was literally in the corner hiding out and feeling like a clown. That feeling of mediocracy and not being able to quiet that constant voice in my head that repeats my worst insecurities and feelings over and over and over. I know I'm always an advocate of saying that you should be who you are and love yourself, but it's easier said than done and some days it's just really hard!"
