AceShowbiz - Gracie Abrams is set to release her third studio album, Daughter From Hell, on July 17, the singer-songwriter revealed on Monday. This follow-up to her 2024 album The Secret of Us marks another collaboration with longtime partner Aaron Dessner, who co-produced and co-wrote the project alongside Abrams.
The first single from the upcoming album, titled "Hit the Wall," will be released later this week on May 14. Abrams expressed her deep connection to the track, stating online, "I love it with everything I have." This release kicks off the new era for Gracie Abrams, building anticipation among her growing fanbase.
The recording process for Daughter From Hell was uniquely challenging, with sessions squeezed into brief intervals between extensive touring. Abrams shared with Billboard, "Aaron and I are catching each other in these little pockets between hectic times." She added that as she spends more time with the music, clarity is emerging. The artist described a sense of newfound energy and a desire to avoid putting unnecessary pressure on herself to reinvent her sound, hoping not to become her own obstacle creatively.
Although the official tracklist has yet to be announced, Gracie Abrams has previewed several new songs during live performances, including "Crazy Girl," "Out of Nowhere," "Death Wish," and "It Doesn't Sit Right." These previews offer fans a glimpse into the diverse emotional and sonic landscape of the forthcoming album.
In a conversation with Nylon, Abrams revealed that she deliberately paced the release of her new music, taking inspiration from fellow artist Taylor Swift. She said, "I am inspired by Taylor in a million ways, but especially by the pace with which she puts things out into the world." Abrams explained that releasing music more frequently reduces pressure and allows her to remain open and productive during this prolific writing period. She emphasized the importance of maintaining momentum and authenticity throughout her creative process.
Earlier this year, in January, Abrams spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about her excitement for the album's release. She described Daughter From Hell as her favorite music she has ever created and expressed a strong personal connection to the work. She reflected on how albums serve as time capsules, capturing who she is at specific moments in her life. Abrams hopes that listeners will find their own meaning in the album and make it their own when it becomes available.
With the release date set and the lead single imminent, Gracie Abrams is poised to deepen her artistic footprint with Daughter From Hell, an album shaped by collaboration, introspection, and a renewed creative spirit.
