About the album

Let's be honest: Gracie Abrams doesn't need to work. She's the daughter of filmmaker J.J. Abrams, after all, who's somehow managed to inherit both the Star Wars and Star Trek franchises and is, thus, probably richer than God. Gracie Abrams definitely needs to get some stuff off her chest, though, so Gracie Abrams works. And on her second full-length album, 2024's The Secret of Us, Gracie Abrams' intimate, confessional songwriting works better than it ever has before on record.

She's still young and finding her feet maybe, but The Secret of Us displays a far more distinct personality and a keener sense of her own songwriting abilities than the EPs that preceded it and 2023's fine-but-familiar Good Riddance album. She had some high-powered help in the studio, too: the National's Aaron Dessner, Taylor Swift's right-hand man Jack Antonoff and, yes, Tay-Tay herself, who duets on "us." Abrams even got to open some dates on Swift's high-falutin' Eras Tour, so Taylor is clearly intent on elevating her pal to the upper echelon of Sad Girldom where the likes of Phoebe Bridgers, Mitski and Julien Baker dwell. Also? The video for "Risk," where Abrams goes drunk-stalking a guy she has a crush on, is kind of adorable.
