Gracie Abrams announces new album ‘Daughter From Hell’ and shares lead single ‘Hit the Wall’
Gracie Abrams has announced Daughter From Hell, due July 17, and will release lead single Hit the Wall this Thursday, May 14.
Gracie Abrams has announced a new album, Daughter From Hell, and confirmed that its lead single, Hit the Wall, will arrive this Thursday, May 14.
The record is due out July 17 via Interscope and follows Abrams’ 2024 sophomore album, The Secret Of Us. Visit here to pre-order.
Abrams wrote and produced Daughter From Hell with longtime collaborator Aaron Dessner of The National. The single was first teased on social media earlier this month, when Abrams posted a silhouette against flames and said in the caption that she “loves” the song “with everything I have”.
She later expanded on the track 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 said he was “So so so so so beyond excited” to announce the album, noting that 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 wrote.
He added that work on Daughter From Hell began two years ago, and that many of the songs were written around the same time as Abrams’ 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, Abrams was confirmed as a feature on Mumford & Sons’ new album Prizefighter, alongside Hozier and Chris Stapleton. She appears on the track Badlands. Before that, Mumford & Sons covered I Love You, I’m Sorry, from The Secret Of Us, during a Live Lounge session.
More recently, Abrams criticised Donald Trump’s “poisonous and vile narcissism” after his comments following the death of filmmaker Rob Reiner. It has also been confirmed that she will make her acting debut in an upcoming A24 film directed by Halina Reijn.
