GRACIE ABRAMS - Minor 12"

Label: Interscope

LA singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams has utilised social media over the last few years to build personal connections with fans, either by sharing song snippets or chatting to them via DM. The current pandemic exposes the curious possibilities and limitations of relying on virtual connections, and with Abrams’ short career so far, that’s all she’s ever known.

The current slow-down has arguably fostered a more considered, intimate space with which to digest Abrams’ debut EP, ‘Minor’: seven emotional diary entries transposed to song form from the confines of her bedroom.

‘Minor’ EP confirms Abrams’ talent for writing cutting, confessional lyrics with the occasional jolt of a catchy hook. But, with time, opportunities to make her diary entries really pop off the page and burrow in your brain will likely emerge. Abrams is at the beginning of what looks to be a promising career – her global legion of fans united through whatever medium necessary.
