Gracie Abrams This Is What It Feels Like

The follow up to her debut project Minor, which was released in the summer of 2020 followed by a virtual tour, This Is What It Feels Like showcases Gracie Abrams' emotionally intimate lyrics and features the recently released songs "Feels Like," "Rockland" and "Alright." All throughout This Is What It Feels Like, Abrams brings her raw introspection to the most intimate of emotional experiences (self-betrayal, insecurity, painfully failed attempts at connection). True to her DIY sensibilities, the 12-track project finds her taking a greater role in the production process, working with The National's Aaron Dessner (Taylor Swift, Sharon Van Etten), Joel Little (Lorde, MARINA), and her frequent collaborator Blake Slatkin (The Kid LAROI, Lil Nas X , Justin Bieber) to dream up each track's minimalistic yet kaleidoscopic sound. In a departure from her previous work, Abrams also left her hometown of L.A. to write and record in such serene settings as the woods of Maine and Dessner's Long Pond Studio in the Hudson Valley – a move that quickly brought a greater clarity to her creative vision.
