Details: In Mallrat's (aka Grace Shaw's) vision of the world, light is more than photons and electromagnetic radiation hitting the eye - it's a moment of divine intervention. A bold swerve into the metaphysical, this is the premise of the prized Brisbane-born, LA-based pop songwriter and producer's 2025 sophomore album: Light hit my face like a straight right. Set against a newly informed backdrop of expressive breakbeats and dance music, it's 12 songs explore the intangible and mysterious allure of human connection, held together by curious investigations into light - "the closest thing to a concept this album has," Mallrat says. She reunited with Butterfly Blue producers Styalz Fuego (Troye Sivan, Tate McRae) and Alice Ivy, while bringing into the mix indie electronic producers Chrome Sparks and Casey MQ. After years of solidifying herself as a master of well-crafted, timeless pop - fielding recognition from New York Times, NYLON, Teen Vogue, Billboard, The FADER, NPR, and more - Light hit my face like a straight right is a step into the art of world-building, bolstered by her intuitive songwriting and clever, studied production.
