"Worried that the path she'd taken had its destination already mapped out, she felt frustrated, as if she hadn't really mourned the other versions of my life, as the now 32-year-old puts it. Part of that process, it turned out, was returning to her first love: music."
"I felt I had to go back to basics, to a childlike writing process, she explains. Just me on the piano at 14, allowing whatever comes naturally to come. So that's what I did."
"Its title, which stands for Falling Into Grace, also connects to this sense of exploration; Grace, which is Scott's middle name, became a sort of alter ego allowing her to express this version of yourself that you wish you had more of."
"Musically, the album is a sophisticated blend of R&B, new wave and soft-focus alt-pop influenced by Peter Gabriel and 90s Janet Jackson, as well as Jessie Ware and Dev Hynes."
At 27, actor Naomi Scott experienced a quarter-life crisis, feeling her life's trajectory was predetermined despite success in Disney productions, Aladdin, and Charlie's Angels. She recognized not mourning alternative life paths and decided to reconnect with music, her original passion. Returning to a childlike songwriting process at the piano, Scott created her debut album F.I.G. (Falling Into Grace), where Grace serves as an alter ego representing her desired self-expression. The album blends R&B, new wave, and alt-pop, influenced by artists including Peter Gabriel, Janet Jackson, Jessie Ware, and Dev Hynes, who contributed production to the track Cut Me Loose.
