The musician released her most recent album, Daughter From Hell, in July
Gracie Abrams stopped by The Tonight Show to perform her song “Look at My Life.” Appearing with a live band, Abrams offered an impassioned rendition of the track, which comes off her recent album, Daughter From Hell.
Abrams released Daughter From Hell in July. The LP debuted atop the Billboard 200 chart, marking the musician’s first-ever Number One album. The singer-songwriter earned 124,000 equivalent album sales.
Produced by the National’s Aaron Dessner, who also produced Abrams’ first album Good Riddance and its follow-up The Secret of Us, Daughter From Hell features a list of notable writing credits, including Justin Vernon, otherwise known as Bon Iver, Abrams’ long-time bestie Audrey Hobert, and Abrams’ partner Paul Mescal, who cowrote “Imaginary Friend.”
Abrams described the album to Rolling Stone as an exploration of an “in-between quality.” “The theme to me is trying to paint an accurate picture of all of these different versions of who you are in this decade when you are sort of one foot in a past life and one foot in the future,” she said.
“This album came from being kind of quiet after we had went our separate ways after tour ended,” Abrams said during her exclusive underplay show at Bowery Ballroom ahead of the release of the album. “Being in your 20s is so strange and weird, it can feel lonely in a new way and it can feel like thrilling in a new way. You imagine your future differently all of a sudden and then your adolescence still feels like it’s like right behind.”
