Gracie Abrams has officially announced her third studio album, Daughter From Hell, which is set for release on July 17. The project marks another significant collaboration between the singer-songwriter and producer Aaron Dessner, continuing a creative partnership that has defined much of her recent work.
The announcement follows the success of her 2024 album, The Secret Of Us. In a statement shared on social media, Aaron Dessner expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming record, noting the evolution of their collaborative process over the last six years. “I’m deeply grateful for every song we have made and the way we have kept challenging ourselves and growing together as collaborators and friends,” Dessner wrote. “You’ll hear us expanding our musical vocabulary and pushing into uncharted waters sonically.”
So so so so so beyond excited to share that @gracieabrams’ 3rd album, “Daughter from Hell”, is out July 17 everywhere. The first single, “Hit the Wall”, is out this Thursday night!! I can’t believe it’s been 6 years since Gracie and I started making songs together. I’m deeply grateful for every song we have made and the way we have kept challenging ourselves and growing together as collaborators and friends, sometimes hitting the wall, and then pushing and breaking through. It has been such a journey since we began working on Daughter from Hell two years ago. We started on the same day that we recorded That’s So True and I Told You Things at @electricladystudios in New York – multiple songs on this album were made in that time. Since then we have searched and searched for songs in Long Pond, in London and back at Electric Lady. You’ll hear us expanding our musical vocabulary and pushing into uncharted waters sonically, and most of all the sharpening and deepening of Gracie’s lyricism and expression in ways that continue to astound me. I believe this album contains absolutely the most moving and powerful work we have done together — it feels elevated in every way — and I can’t WAIT until you all get to hear it. We will share more details soon on all the dear friends who helped us along the way.
The lead single, “Hit The Wall,” features additional production and writing credits from Bryce Dessner, Justin Vernon, and Ben Lanz. The track is accompanied by a music video directed by Renell Medrano.
Beyond her musical endeavors, Abrams is also preparing for her film acting debut in the A24-produced project Please, directed by Halina Reijn. The cast recently expanded to include actor Tom Burke.
