Ghost by Grace Morton

Ghost is singer-songwriter Grace Morton's debut EP, recorded and produced by singer-songwriter, producer and filmmaker Jack Fingland. The five-track collection explores themes of presence, stillness, and transformation — woven together with Grace’s delicate vocals, grounded lyricism and ethereal sonic textures.

The title track Ghost, written while exchanging gardening for a bed in rural Greece at the foot of a mountain, was recorded in Grace’s living room over a sunny summer weekend. The song came together intuitively, with Jack at the helm of production, and was later enriched by the dreamlike piano work of Iona Reid and sensitive percussion by Magnus Kramers. Both Iona and Magnus key to finding hidden rhythms and feelings of the song and creating the dreamy swell of the bridge.

Inspired during the winter mixing sessions, the idea for a music video was born — a ghostly figure against a mountainous landscape. Grace and Jack, joined by animator Elvey Stedman and filmmaker Ellen Francis, climbed part way up Ben Ledi in freezing conditions to film the visual, which will be released in Summer 2025 and feature original animation from Elvey.

With strong visuals and a growing creative momentum, what began as a single naturally evolved into a full EP. Roaring Tide reflects on solitude of a camping trip to Stoer Lighthouse, while Tiresome Ways and Love In This Room speak to self-acceptance and the gentle process of healing. Love In This Room was recorded in a few intimate takes on Jack’s grandfather’s microphone, capturing a raw and exposed vocal that mirrors the song’s vulnerability.

The final track Holding Ground was recorded live at Glasgow’s Mackintosh Halls and features vocal harmonies from Maddie Cassidy (SISTER MADDS), Ellen Francis and Elvey Stedman. The track is named after Grace’s grandmother Angela’s second poetry collection, and draws on the idea of alchemy — holding all parts of oneself with kindness and allowing change to flow.

Special thank you to everyone who helped to bring this EP to be and to all the people who've made music such a core, nourishing part of my life - I am so grateful. Oh and special thank you to the ghost I saw on the hilltop, you were a catalyst to all of this.
