Rolling Stone reports that Gracie Abrams is preparing a new album called Daughter from Hell, which she says goes deeper into the emotional themes that have shaped her music. In the profile, Abrams says the project reaches back to childhood and offers a bigger, more varied sound.
The article traces Abrams’ rise from posting songs she recorded in her bedroom as a teenager to releasing 2023’s Good Riddance, which earned her a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist and led to an opening slot on 49 dates of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour. Her 2024 follow-up, The Secret of Us, was also described as drawing from her personal life.
According to Rolling Stone, Abrams said she was careful to show both sides of herself in the songs, viewing herself as both the protagonist and the antagonist. The piece says her music has expanded from quiet bedroom ballads into arena-ready songs while still focusing on insecurity, avoidance, and self-reflection.
The profile also notes that Abrams has been open about being the daughter of filmmaker J.J. Abrams and producer Katie McGrath, and that she has discussed understanding the advantages that came with that background. Rolling Stone says several arena tour dates tied to the new album sold out in minutes.
