Get ready to immerse yourself in the sonic depths of Gracie Abrams' latest masterpiece – 'Daughter From Hell', the eagerly anticipated third album from this singer-songwriter sensation. With its release on 17 July 2026 via Interscope Records, fans are treated to a dramatic reckoning with her younger self, as Abrams pours her heart and soul into a collection of songs that reflect on past turmoil from a more mature perspective.
As you'd expect from the mastermind behind this emotive output, 'Daughter From Hell' is an album that wears its heart on its sleeve – think intense emotional highs and lows, with vivid and at times violent imagery serving as Abrams' trusted sidekicks. Tracks like 'Hit The Wall' kick off with a bang, thanks to lines like "I'm a crack in the pavement / I'm a slipknot" that set the tone for what promises to be an unforgettable listening experience.
Don't be surprised if you find yourself nodding along to the contributions of some big-name collaborators – Paul Mescal co-wrote 'Imaginary Friend', which injects a welcome dose of humour into the album's often serious themes, while Justin Vernon of Bon Iver adds his unique touch to 'Hit The Wall' and 'Humming'. Meanwhile, Marcus Mumford lends his voice to 'What If It’s Right?' and Audrey Hobert co-wrote the catchy 'Minibar'. But make no mistake – it's Abrams and her trusted producer Aaron Dessner who steal the show with their seamless blend of intensity and perspective. Take 'Look At My Life', for example, which gently balances youthful experiences with a healthy dose of wisdom.
The title track, 'Daughter From Hell', serves as a poignant apology to Abrams' parents, reflecting on her behaviour as a teenager – it's a powerful moment in an album packed with them. Yes, some listeners might find the slow, distorted guitar work on this particular track challenging, but for others, it'll be a highlight of the record. Whatever your take, though, one thing is clear: 'Daughter From Hell' offers fans an unflinching look into Abrams' personal history and emotional landscape – and showcases her artistry as it continues to evolve at pace.
