GRAE said, “Let’s break all the rules,” and 7 Minutes ’Til Heaven is what happened next. This isn’t your typical alt-pop project—it’s experimental, emotional, and unapologetically cool. With synths that sparkle like a disco ball in a dark room and vocals that feel like soft velvet with a sharp edge, this album gives you mood, message, and major replay value.
Right off the bat, the album opens with the voice of Apollonia (yes, the Purple Rain icon!), setting a glamorous but eerie tone. It feels like walking into a smoky lounge where heartbreak and empowerment are both on the menu. GRAE then swerves into “Dark Energy”, and suddenly you’re in a noir-pop dreamscape with basslines that hug your spine and lyrics that hit your gut.
Every song is a mini-movie. “Motorcade”? A haunting Jackie Kennedy reimagining. “Fantasy”? A therapy session with synths. “Wet Dream”? The wildest night you barely remember but can’t stop thinking about. GRAE mixes storytelling with sonic surprises, making every track feel like a plot twist in the best possible way.
And can we talk about the confidence radiating from “God In A Woman”? It’s empowering without being preachy, sexy without being overdone. Just pure divine femme energy turned into soundwaves. It’s the kind of track that makes you want to wear sunglasses indoors and ignore everyone’s texts.
Overall, 7 Minutes ’Til Heaven is alt-pop’s edgy older sister—stylish, emotional, a little chaotic, but always put together. It’s the kind of album that grows with you, gets under your skin, and lives in your head rent-free. GRAE didn’t just level up—she built her own level.
