Danny Painter chats to Baker Grace and Joss Austin!

South African Pop star Joss Austin, recently teamed up with American Singer-songwriter Baker Grace, on the endearing single ‘Missing You’. Jacaranda FM listeners have been loving the single on their station’s airwaves, so Baker and Joss have given Jacaranda FM a special gift: an exclusive acoustic performance of ‘Missing You’.

Joss Austin, who’s had multiple hits across local radio and worked with some of the biggest names in the music business, signed to US label Riveting Music just over a year ago. The label is also home to US singer-songwriter Baker Grace who has been captivating international audiences with her incredible solo releases. It was a no-brainer to bring these 2 incredible voices together on ‘Missing You’ and now fans will get to enjoy the stripped-down version.

As with the initial recording of ‘Missing You’, once-again Joss and Baker connected across the ocean to create this acoustic version with Joss recording from South Africa and Baker from the USA. This is what they both had to say about producing this special version:

“Over the moon that we decided to strip down this song. The essence of where it came from started with guitar and Baker Grace in a room over in the USA and so I’m glad I got to become part of that in this acoustic version. Really amplifies the message of the song that I feel it resonates with so many at some point in their life. Excited to hear what people have to say about it.”
– Joss Austin

“I really love the acoustic version because it gives the lyrics and raw emotion in this song a chance to shine. It also emphasizes how well our voices work together. It is always so great connecting with Joss and working together miles apart, although challenging with time differences. I recorded it in my home studio in New Jersey and the video was recorded on an iPhone in my bedroom. Amazing what you can do with just one phone and one light these days!”
– Baker Grace
