Gracie Abrams: Good Riddance (CD)

Young Californian Gracie Abrams, one of the most exciting new voices in the US pop / alt / songwriting world, has finally announced her highly anticipated debut album, "Good Riddance". So after two acclaimed EPs and skyrocketing stream counts, here's the first full-length musical statement - Gracie's definition of poetry set to music, of intimate pop, with extra-life lyrics and quite a bit of depth. Gracie's regular songwriting partner is once again Aaron Dessner (The National), who, after working for several top-class acts in the indie/alternative world, also contributed to Taylor Swift's last two albums. Already as an eight-year-old inspired to first own song ideas, Gracie Abrams gave her first musical sign of life at the end of 2019. Hailed as a rising star for her first two EPs, "Minor" and "This Is What It Feels Like," many of her songs to date (including "I miss you, I'm sorry," "21" and "Feels Like") are recording stream numbers in the double to triple-digit millions. Gracie will soon embark on a headlining tour of the U.S. - after which she will be seen in North America's biggest stadiums: As support act for Taylor Swift's big The Eras tour.
