Grace VanderWaal won America's Got Talent, performed in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and recorded an entire EP in only a matter of weeks (the latter in only a matter of days). It would seem like an impossible résumé of accomplishments for anyone — but the self-taught singer-songwriter has done all of this by age 12. "Miracles can happen" was what she said on her first audition at AGT, when Simon Cowell asked if she really thought she could win the competition. It turns out, she was right.

Her debut EP, Perfectly Imperfect, redefines her from contestant to recording artist all her own. In five tracks, Grace takes us through an array of emotions – and styles – beginning with "I Don't Know My Name," the original song that introduced Grace as an artist at her very first audition, all the way through tracks like "Gossip Girl," the first song she recorded. She told Teen Vogue that it was also the "funnest, because we really messed around with a bunch of different genres and synthesizers."

The EP takes you through Grace's range, touching on issues that are all-too-well-known for young people, as well as soul-stokingly beautiful medleys that almost anyone could relate to. But that's Grace for you: a jack of all trades, and a master of them, too.

1. "I Don't Know My Name"

This song is already known as Grace's classic, and will probably be the first anthem that comes to mind in the years to come. It's an honest look at what's going on in the mind of someone finding herself, and coping with the world questioning her becoming. "You ask why I cut my hair and changed myself completely," she croons. "I don't know my name / I don't play by the rules of the game."

2. "Clay"

One of the originals Grace wowed judges with on AGT, "Clay" takes on a softer, more romantic tone than "I Don't Know My Name." It's the first to dip into Grace's stylistic range, with a soft piano and thought-provoking, emotion-stoking lyrics: "Your silly words, I won't live in such a world / because your punches and your names and your chokes and your stupid games / they don't work. No, they don't hurt / Watch them go right through me, because they mean nothing to me / I'm like clay."

3. "Light In the Sky"

"Light In the Sky" was an original that Grace debuted during the finals of AGT. It encompasses all of Grace's strengths: her decidedly unique voice, mixed with folk-infused, emotionally stoking words add up to a paradoxical mix of fun and somber. But that's exactly what this song is: it's calming, yet very subtly upbeat, especially as she crescendos toward the end, and the background music begins to swell. It also carries the theme in Grace's music along nicely, one of giving yourself permission to shine, and transcend that which is trying to bring you down.

4. "Beautiful Thing"

"Beautiful Thing" follows the style of "Light In the Sky" in that it begins quietly, and then builds to show off the serious power of Grace's vocals. This is one of the best instances in which we see just how unique her ability to master both a softer, vowel-breaking folk tone as well as push through a serious power-ballad by the end. It's rare that you see both at once, but that's part of the magic of Grace's sound: it's at once completely new, and totally unexpected.

5. "Gossip Girl"

"I'm not trying to point any fingers, but I've heard the whispers going around," she begins. "Not trying to point you out here / just making the facts clear / that I've found you're the gossip girl." This song is one of the first on the album that seems to touch distinctly on a struggle that's all too common. Coping with the opinions and back-talking of others (especially those you consider friends) is always a challenge, but with the position that Grace is in, she offers what's a remarkably mature and honest commentary on, well, just calling people out.
