She continued, speaking of how her new song came about: "Joe (Lenzie), from Sigma, he slid into my Instagram DMs.
"He's a lovely guy, and he messaged to just ask if I wanted to give it a go and record it.
"It turns out that they liked it."
Grace recorded the lines sung by Sarah McLachlan in Delerium's original track.
She added: "It is a bit of jump from my acoustic covers, but I think my listeners know that is what I like (house and drum-and-base).
"That is the genre that I do original music in.
"The acoustic covers are in their own realm really."
Speaking of the artists that inspire her, Grace said: "I've always loved Taylor Swift.
"I just love how she's a business woman as well as an artist.
"In terms of collaborations, it's very much house music that inspires me.
"So, I love Becky Hill, I love Ella Eyre.
"They're artists that collaborate with big producers and do these dance tracks, so anyone like that really."
'Silence' by Bennie featuring Grace George will be released at midnight on Friday morning (March 24), and will be available on all mainstream music platforms.
