Gracie Abrams' third album 'Daughter From Hell' arrives July 17, made again with Aaron Dessner

Gracie Abrams will release her third album, Daughter From Hell, on July 17 through Interscope. She announced it on May 11 with the cover, the date, and a 16-song tracklist, and she has been feeding the record out in pieces since. Lead single "Hit the Wall" came May 14, then "Look at My Life" on June 25. Aaron Dessner produced and co-wrote most of it with her, the same partnership behind 2024's The Secret of Us, with Bella Blasko engineering.

The album arrives on a bigger stage than anything Abrams has put out before. The Secret of Us debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and turned "That's So True" into a long-running hit, which moved her from opening act to headliner inside one cycle. Daughter From Hell is the first full statement she gets to make from that new position.

The two singles point at different rooms. "Hit the Wall" is the loud one. It posted 3.9 million Spotify streams in its first 24 hours, her biggest streaming debut yet, and reached No. 35 at Top 40 radio. "Look at My Life" is the more telling record. It runs on fast, nervy acoustic strumming that keeps accelerating under her, built to match a lyric about being stuck spinning through a bad stretch. Dessner's hand is all over the arrangement, in the way the guitars tighten instead of swell as the song climbs. It is the clearest preview of what a Dessner-Abrams album sounds like when it stops being pretty and gets anxious.

The tracklist runs 16 songs, opening on "Hit the Wall" and "Death Wish" and closing on "Cold Goodbyes." The title track sits fourth. Marcus Mumford turns up on "What If It's Right?," the only confirmed guest so far. Titles like "Men Like You," "Broke My Heart," and "Minibar" suggest Abrams is still writing from the same close, diaristic vantage, with more blood in it this time.

She is not waiting to tour it. On May 28 she announced the Look at My Life Tour, 64 dates that start December 2 in Denver and run through May 28, 2027 in Barcelona, across North America, the UK, and Europe. Rachel Chinouriri, Del Water Gap, Jensen McRae, and Holly Humberstone are among the openers on select nights. That is arena-scale routing for someone who was playing clubs three years ago.

The question the record has to answer is whether Abrams can keep the intimacy that got her here while writing for rooms that size. The singles suggest she and Dessner already hear that risk and are keeping the rough edges in. We find out July 17.
