Grace Woodroofe is on a bit of a tear. After releasing her long-awaited sophomore album Rotate on the Ache (Part 1) earlier this year, the independent artist returned less than six months later with the thrilling rocker 'Circling The Drain'. Now she has another dynamic single out in the world: 'What Do You Think I Am?'.

Following in the footsteps of the guitar-heavy 'Circling The Drain', Woodroofe's latest finds her in full indie rock mode, delivering a blistering PJ Harvey-esque anthem that kicks you in the face without apologising.

"For so long, I had been questioning myself, making excuses for his behaviour and trying to keep the peace, even when I knew something was deeply wrong," explains Woodroofe.

"'What Do You Think I Am?' is the moment I stop turning that anger inward and start directing it where it belongs. I'm finally saying, 'I see what you're doing. I know what this is. You’ve forgotten who I am, but I haven't'. It's an angry song, but it also feels incredibly empowering. It's the first real moment in the story where I feel like I’m getting a part of myself back."

Both 'Circling The Drain' and 'What Do You Think I Am?' give fans an insight into what to expect from Woodroofe's next album Rotate On The Ache (Part 2), which is a much darker collection of songs than the first edition and finds Woodroofe rediscovering who she really is.

Discovered at 17 by Heath Ledger, Woodroofe's debut album Always Want was produced by Ben Harper, released on Modular Recordings and reached #3 on the Australian iTunes Charts.

Just as she looked set for big things, Woodroofe suffered a setback in her personal life. Taking several years away from the spotlight, she returned earlier this year with new material and her sophomore album, Rotate on the Ache (Part 1).

2026 has also seen Woodroofe named a finalist in the APRA AMCOS Professional Development Awards and the APRA AMCOS Songwriter Award, while also performing alongside Sarah Blasko and touring with Meg Washington

'What Do You Think I Am?' is out now. Listen here.
