Summary
Gracie Abrams’ third album, the 16-track Daughter From Hell, arrives Friday on Interscope with reviewers calling it her strongest release yet.
Aaron Dessner co-produced the record as Abrams pushes beyond her earlier whispery, inward style, adding sharper rock edges, bigger vocals and wider sonic range.
Songs including “The Knife,” “Mini Bar” and the title track pair recurring images of pain with humor and adulthood, while “Imaginary Friend” was co-written with Paul Mescal.
The release follows Abrams’ rapid rise since 2023, when Good Riddance coincided with her Eras Tour opening slot and a Grammy nomination, before 2024’s The Secret of Us delivered her first Top 10 hit.
