The Voice Behind Heartbreak: Gracie Abrams
Who is this sulky yet sultry singer-songwriter?
Gracie Abrams is possibly one of the best-kept secrets in the music industry. She has undeniably carved out a safe space inside the industry, with her moody lyrics and sultry vocals, becoming a type of confessional pop-princess. The 1999-born Gracie grew up with storytelling no matter where she went. Being the daughter of Hollywood director J.J. Abrams, she chose a different outlet to tell her stories, by using music instead of making films.
She writes her lyrics like pages from a diary: raw, relatable lines that express the bittersweet layers of young love, heartbreak, and self-discovery. Her most recently released album: The Secret of Us, gives us a masterclass in being emotionally vulnerable. Through each song, she invites us into her world, a place where heartbreak is not only felt, but truly lived.
Songs like “I Love You, I’m Sorry” and “Close To You” possess the uncanny ability to make you feel like she's singing your own story. Whether it be the story of an ended relationship or the chaos inside our minds surrounding unexpressed feelings.
Where Gracie really excels, though, is in how sullen yet sultry she manages to come across at the same time.
Her voice, so fragile yet powerful, wraps around her lyrics like a tight blanket. Giving us the listening experience of receiving a much-needed hug. One can say that Gracie's music not only wants to be heard, but it also needs to be felt.
At her core, Gracie Abrams is a true storyteller. The Secret of Us goes far beyond an album, it's a call to travel further into the dark corners of your heart. Should it be to heal an open wound or to find the perfect soundtrack for a miserable afternoon, Gracie's music is the treasure you've been looking for. A voice you never knew you needed, a shoulder to cry on, or simply a hidden secret behind some of the most mesmerizing music of her generation.
