A month ago, Torres announced her upcoming album Silver Tongue by sharing “Good Scare” and revealing that the record is about different facets of love. “Good Scare” was about how terrifying love can be, and on the new single “Gracious Day,” Torres reflects on how certain she is about her feelings for a special somebody. Torres sings on the tender and heartfelt single, “Gracious day / You moved in like a wave of quiet grace / No surprise / Honey, I’m gonna love you all my life.”
Torres said of the song, “My girlfriend was trying to leave me. I basically wrote this song for her from the valley of the shadow of death, desperate that she might give me another chance — it worked. I felt like Ebenezer Scrooge after he wakes up on Christmas morning.”
Additionally, Torres also announced a string of North American tour dates for 2020, which includes stops in Seattle; Austin; New Orleans; Nashville; Cleveland; Washington, DC; and Atlanta.
