Gracie Abrams has a new single out and a new album on the way. “Hit the Wall,” the lead single from her forthcoming third studio album ‘Daughter from Hell,’ is out now via Interscope Records, alongside an official video directed by Renell Medrano that frames Abrams’ inner world through a surrealist, shadow-heavy visual language packed with symbolic imagery.
‘Daughter from Hell’ arrives July 17th, written and produced by Abrams alongside Aaron Dessner. It’s her first album in 2 years, following ‘The Secret of Us,’ which debuted at No. 1 in the UK, Australia, and the Netherlands and landed at No. 2 on the Billboard 200.
‘The Secret of Us’ built Abrams’ profile track by track. “Close to You” marked her first solo entry on the Billboard Hot 100. “I Love You, I’m Sorry” peaked at No. 9 on the US Spotify Chart and No. 31 on the Hot 100. The deluxe edition added “That’s So True,” which climbed to No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and gave Abrams her first top 10 entry.
“Hit the Wall” is a strong opening move for a record that clearly operates in a different register. Stripped back and atmospherically dense, it signals a more inward-looking direction while keeping the melodic instincts that made ‘The Secret of Us’ such a commercial and critical success.
