Check out the black and white video below:Abrams previously spoke to NME about playing live. “It’s gotten me so outside of my comfort zone,” she explained.
“I’m someone that has chosen to be alone a lot when I didn’t need to be and so to have been pushed outside my own bubble is healthy. I have very few friends because I’m not the most social person ever and this has given me more friends than I think anyone has ever had – in every city, I feel like I have a family of people.”A post shared by Gracie Abrams (@gracieabrams)The musician worked with The National‘s Aaron Dessner on ‘Good Riddance’.
In a four-star review, NME wrote: “Gracie Abrams has always been an artist to wear her feelings on her sleeve. In her music, tiny, heart-breaking details are put front and centre, with specific minutiae shining through her lyrics.
