Gracie Abrams has announced her new album ‘Daughter From Hell’, and is set to release ethereal lead single ‘Hit The Wall’ later this week.
The new record is the follow-up to 2024’s sophomore album ‘The Secret Of Us’, and set for release on July 17 via Interscope. Visit here to pre-order.
Abrams wrote and produced ‘Daughter From Hell’ alongside longtime collaborator Aaron Dessner (The National), and has confirmed that it will be previewed by a single called ‘Hit The Wall’, which will officially be released this Thursday (May 14).
She first teased the single on social media earlier this month, posting a still of her silhouette with flames in the background and writing in the caption that she “loves” the single “with everything I have”.
Then she teased the new song more at the red carpet for the 2026 Met Gala last week, telling Vogue: “It’s the introduction to this new chapter, and I feel grateful and relieved that this is the introduction. I love the song so much and I love the people I made it with. It feels embodied and that feels good. I’m excited for it to belong to everyone else.”
On Instagram, Dessner wrote that he was “So so so so so beyond excited” to announce his work on Abram’s new album, and recalled how it had been six years since they first started working together.
“I’m deeply grateful for every song we have made and the way we have kept challenging ourselves and growing together as collaborators and friends, sometimes hitting the wall, and then pushing and breaking through,” he added.
He also added that work began on ‘Daughter From Hell’ two years ago, and many of the songs were written around the same time as hit singles ‘That’s So True’ and ‘I Told You Things’.
“You’ll hear us expanding our musical vocabulary and pushing into uncharted waters sonically, and most of all the sharpening and deepening of Gracie’s lyricism and expression in ways that continue to astound me,” Dessner continued.
“I believe this album contains absolutely the most moving and powerful work we have done together – it feels elevated in every way – and I can’t WAIT until you all get to hear it. We will share more details soon on all the dear friends who helped us along the way.”
Last year, it was announced that Abrams would feature on the new Mumford & Sons album ‘Prizefighter’, alongside Hozier and Chris Stapleton. She featured on the track ‘Badlands’, and before then, the band covered ‘I Love You, I’m Sorry’ – one of her songs from ‘The Secret Of Us’ – on a Live Lounge appearance.
Since then, the singer-songwriter has criticised Donald Trump’s “poisonous and vile narcissism” after his comments following the death of film maker Rob Reiner, and it has been confirmed that she will be making her acting debut in an upcoming A24 film, directed by Halina Reijn.
