AceShowbiz - Gracie Abrams has launched the lead single "Hit the Wall" from her forthcoming album Daughter From Hell, setting a compelling tone for what fans can expect.
The track begins with delicate synths as Gracie Abrams sings introspective lyrics like "I'm a crack in the pavement/I'm a slipknot/I'm afraid that my fortress/Is a glass box." As the music gently builds, she continues, "Sooner or later, you'll find out/I live in a pattern of breakdowns," capturing a raw emotional vulnerability.
The music video, directed by Renell Medrano, visually reflects the song’s dreamlike and haunting qualities. In a series of surreal scenes, Gracie Abrams opens several blue doors, each leading to distinct, symbolic moments. One reveals her sitting on a hospital bed while doctors present inkblots. Another door opens to an eerie hallway with twins waiting at the end, a nod to the iconic film The Shining. The video closes with Gracie Abrams singing in front of a burning tree, underscoring the lyric, "I'm not a problem you can solve."
Daughter From Hell, which will be Gracie Abrams' third album, is set for release on July 17 through Interscope Records. The album was written and produced in collaboration with Aaron Dessner, who revealed on Instagram that work on the project began the same day they recorded two other Abrams tracks, "That's So True" and "I Told You Things," from the deluxe edition of Secret of Us.
This release marks a new chapter for Gracie Abrams, whose evocative songwriting and atmospheric sound continue to resonate deeply with listeners as she prepares to share more of her evolving artistry later this summer.
