LA-based pop trailblazer Grace Gaustad has shared their new single and video ‘Are You Happy’ – stream here and watch here. ‘Are You Happy’ appears on Gaustad’s forthcoming multimedia concept album PILLBX: whts ur fantasy?, which will culminate this summer in an epic cinematic film.
With its bubbling and building sonics and powerful chorus, ‘Are You Happy’ is a track that dances around heartbreak. The accompanying music video, with a booming night club as the backdrop, portrays a story of breaking free from toxicity, co-starring Loren Gray and Katie Kelly.
Speaking further about the track Grace says: “Are You Happy” is a song about searching for happiness in all the wrong places like toxic people, relationships, and in the superficial luxuries of life. We live in a society that places so much emphasis on money and fame and somehow we’re led to believe that it will makes us happy when in fact it’s what keeps us broken”
Following up their 2021 debut album BLKBX: wht r u hding?, Grace Gaustad’s new album PILLBX: whts ur fantasy? is a 13 track linear continuation of their journey through young adulthood, exposing the collective mental anguish young adults feel today and the multiple different realities our lives could take if history had been different. The Line of Best Fit recently said the album sees Grace “push sonic and storytelling boundaries alike, embracing the pure thrill of exploring honest self-expression.”
PILLBX: whts ur fantasy? features a curated list of floor banging dance tracks, pop anthems destined to be classics, and hauntingly devastating ballads that are sure to be timeless favourites. Each track from the multimedia concept album is being released like an episodic mini-series with an all star cast featuring the likes of actress and transgender rights activist Dylan Mulvaney, and Emmy and Golden Globe winner Mariska Hargitay.

“I refuse to conform to societal standards and expectations, so within the walls of my bedroom and studio, I created my own world, my own reality, and my own rules. I invite anyone who has ever felt different for any reason into the magical world known as PILLBX” – Grace Gaustad
