You’ll be seeing that pose again somewhere where you’ll least expect it.” “And then I remembered that I’m not wearing a holster or anything that would carry a weapon, so it’s not that either. I stared at it for so long, I was like, ‘Oh maybe, I’m reaching for a weapon to take out and fight someone.’ Gillan added: “Maybe I should double down and make this pose a thing. “I remember doing this pose and thinking, ‘I think I look pretty cool here.’ So I take full responsibility for this choice, but oh my God, what am I leaning against?

Her final words come as a breath of relief. “Am I losing my family / Every minute that I’m gone?”, Abrams sings, before eventually coming to a conclusion: “I’m more alive somehow / I feel like myself right now”. Later, on the soaring bridge, she confesses: “I destroyed every silver lining you had / Promise I don’t forget / All of my fault in this”.Īlbum closer ‘Right Now’, a song filled powered by whirring synths, is a reflection of how difficult life on the road can get. On ‘Best’, which dissects Abram’s own misgivings in a relationship, she admits : “I never was the best to you”. On ‘Good Riddance’, the lyrics often spill like water, overflowing as Abrams opens herself up and exposes her most vulnerable self. It’s no surprise that Abrams has a knack for storytelling her father is filmmaker J. It’s a shame, as it’s the songwriting that really makes Abrams’ music shine. ‘Full Machine’ and ‘Will You Cry?’ both fall victim to this, meaning that their stories feel hidden.

Follow-up project ‘This Is What it Feels Like’ saw The National’s Aaron Dessner lead on production duties, fusing Abrams’ deeply personal songwriting with layered, folk-flecked guitars and skittering electronics and adding a new depth to her previously cosy sound. ![]() On 2020’s ‘I Miss You, I’m Sorry’ – from ‘Minor’, an EP that Olivia Rodrigo has said inspired the record-breaking ‘Drivers License’ – she sang: “You said forever and I almost bought it / Breaking dishes when you’re disappointed”. It’s these particular style of writing – that manages to be both relatable and precise – that have won the LA artist a huge fanbase. “I hyperfocus on details that may feel very irrelevant to other people, and rightfully so, but I’m just like a psychotic journaler,” she told NME last year of her songwriting process. In her music, tiny, heart-breaking details are put front and centre, with specific minutiae shining through her lyrics. Gracie Abrams has always been an artist to wear her feelings on her sleeve.
