Since Brexit many UK network providers have introduced expensive roaming charges for using phones abroad. It means sharing holiday snaps with friends and family now comes at an added cost, which is something I was very cautious of as I set off on a recent trip to Turkey.

05.08.2022 - 01:35 / nme.com
Gracie Abrams spoke to NME backstage at Lollapalooza 2022 and told us her songwriting process, what it’s like to work with The National‘s Aaron Dessner, and the potential name of an unreleased track she just performed live. Watch our interview above.Hours before taking on the festival’s Discord stage Saturday (July 30), one of her first performances since going on tour with Olivia Rodrigo, Abrams told us Chicago was one of her “favourite cities to play in.”“Having been here a couple of times on tour, they’re just the greatest people,” Abrams said.
The singer has been writing songs since she was just eight years-old and released her debut, EP ‘Minor’ in 2020, followed by a second EP, last year’s ‘This Is What It Feels Like.’“I’m fascinated by human behaviour,” she told NME when asked about what inspires her songwriting. “I hyperfocus on details that may feel very irrelevant to other people, and rightfully so, but I’m just like a psychotic journaler.”Abrams added: “I love being able to look back at certain times in my life through music.
It’s like this funny documentation process I sometimes regret but mostly appreciate.”The singer who has recently been on tour with Phoebe Bridgers and is currently working with Dessner, also told us what she looks for when it comes to collaborating with other artists.Abrams said: “I’ve so admired Phoebe and Aaron, since I was 10 years-old. To be in close proximity to them, anytime ever is the greatest blessing of my life.
To be able to learn from masters at their craft and it’s deeply inspiring.”She continued: “Aaron is who I’ve been working with the most the past year. What I appreciate so much about him is that he really leans into creating a world with the projects we’re working on
