Alyssa Grace is a folk-pop/indie-pop singer/songwriter hailing from Idaho, based in California. Alyssa Grace invites listeners into her world with honesty, vulnerability, and emotion, creating a debut EP, “spilling my guts,” that feels genuine from beginning to end. Rather than hiding behind polished production or complicated lyrics, she lets her experiences speak for themselves, making each track feel personal while remaining easy to connect with.
Before the EP was released, Alyssa Grace had already built excitement with the singles “dog with a bone,” “picking petal,” and “bloodstream.” All three songs attracted attention for their storytelling and memorable melodies, giving listeners an early glimpse of her songwriting style. Along with “picking petal,” these releases created anticipation for the full project and showed that she had something meaningful to say.
The EP opens with “bones,” a reflective introduction that immediately sets the emotional tone. From there, Alyssa Grace continues to explore love, heartbreak, self-doubt, and healing with sincerity. The track “dog with a bone” remains one of the project’s standout moments, combining relatable lyrics with a melody that stays with you long after the song ends. The fourth track on the EP, “picking petals”, beautifully captures the uncertainty of relationships, while “somebody to somebody” explores the universal need or desire to feel important to someone else.

The title track “spilling guts” is the emotional centre of the EP. It feels like a deeply personal conversation directed at someone who hurt her, with Alyssa expressing the pain of loving someone who couldn’t love her back. There is a raw sense of frustration and heartbreak as she reflects on everything she has endured, whilst touching on mental health. Those themes add another layer of vulnerability, showing not only emotional healing but also the strength it takes to keep moving forward. It’s one of the most honest moments on the project, and the intimacy of the songwriting makes it especially powerful.
“Bloodstream,” which had already become a favourite before the EP’s release, continues to shine with its emotional intensity and atmospheric production. The project closes with “baby swim” featuring Andrew Lucier, a touching duet that brings warmth and hope to the record’s final moments, with both artists’ voices complementing each other effortlessly.
Throughout “spilling my guts,” the production remains understated, allowing the songwriting and vocals to take centre stage. Soft acoustic guitars, gentle instrumentals, and layered arrangements create space for every lyric to land with impact. Alyssa’s voice is expressive and sincere, never over-singing or forcing emotion, instead letting the feeling come through naturally. That honesty is what makes these songs so genuine.

What makes Alyssa Grace stand out is her authenticity. She writes about deeply personal experiences in a way that never feels dramatic or manufactured. Instead, she creates songs that are comforting because they feel real. Her ability to turn vulnerability into something listeners can relate to gives her a unique identity, setting her apart from many emerging artists.
Overall, “spilling my guts” is a confident and emotionally rich debut that establishes Alyssa Grace as an artist with both a clear voice and a clear vision. This early success of “dog with a bone,” “picking petals,” and “bloodstream” hinted at her potential, but this EP proves she can deliver a complete body of work filled with memorable songwriting, heartfelt performances, and thoughtful production. More than just an introduction, “spilling my guts” is a statement of who Alyssa Grace is as an artist. Her willingness to confront heartbreak, recovery, and self-worth with such openness makes this EP resonate long after it ends, marking her as a songwriter whose honesty is her greatest strength and an artist with an exciting future ahead.
