Gracie Abrams has announced her debut album and a North American tour.
The Los Angeles-based musician took to social media to unveil the details, confirming that 'Good Riddance' will arrive on February 24. She also revealed the record's cover art, and confirmed that her new single Where Do We Go Now? will arrive this Friday (January 13).
The LP was co-written and co-produced by Aaron Dessner, who is best known for his work in The National and, more recently, with Taylor Swift. In a heartfelt statement, Abrams wrote:
"It’s difficult to imagine these songs living anywhere other than my most secret places, but Aaron reminded me that holding space for brutal honesty in songwriting is kind of the whole point.
"I feel an unbelievable amount of gratitude for the opportunity to have made this album. Writing this record allowed me to grow up in ways I needed to. It forced me to reflect and be accountable. It allowed me to walk away from versions of myself that I no longer recognized. It allowed me to let go.
"There will never be enough words to describe the gift that is Aaron’s friendship. He is one of the very few people in this world capable of making others feel safe to their core when they are exploring the parts of themselves that are most raw. He is rare and generous.
"Thank you all for your support. I’m so nervous. I’m so relieved. I hope with my whole heart that there’s something in here that makes you feel less alone. I’ll be thanking you all for the rest of my life for taking this record and making it yours."
In response, Dessner also shared his own post on Instagram: "Working with her has been one of the most natural and effortless collaborations I’ve ever experienced."
Abrams has also announced a headline North American tour for March and April, ahead of select shows supporting Taylor Swift on The Eras Tour. Tickets go on general sale at 10am local time on January 13.
