Gracie Abrams Launches 'Daughter From Hell' With 'Hit the Wall' Lead Single and Surreal Video

The rollout signals a more daring turn shaped by longtime collaborator Aaron Dessner.

Overview

  • Gracie Abrams released Hit the Wall as the first single from her new album, paired with a video directed by Renell Medrano.
  • Daughter From Hell is scheduled to arrive July 17 on Interscope Records.
  • The video moves through blue doors into dreamlike scenes that include hospital inkblot tests, eerie twins, and a burning tree.
  • Abrams made the album with producer Aaron Dessner, who said they worked over two years across Electric Lady in New York, Long Pond, and in London.
  • Dessner called the songs their most moving work together and said they pushed into new sounds, as Abrams has aimed to wait until she had something to say.
