Gracie Abrams Battles Self-Imposed Limits on Her New Album

Gracie Abrams’ third album Daughter from Hell showcases her stunning vocal range and expressive delivery, but the review argues her songwriting doesn’t rise to the same level, leaning into serious ballads and self-serious moments despite standout spots like Look at My Life and Minibar. Produced in part by Aaron Dessner and Dan Nigro, the record highlights Abrams’ vocal prowess while suggesting she’s her own biggest obstacle by not fully pushing into more adventurous musical territory.
