Gracie Abrams biography

Gracie Abrams (born September 7, 1999) is an American pop singer/songwriter from Los Angeles, California, and the daughter of filmmaker and composer J.J. Abrams. 2024 marked a new era for Abrams — On May 1, 2024, Abrams released «Risk,» the lead single to her sophomore album, “The Secret of Us”. “The Secret of Us” released June 21, 2024 and was preceded by «Risk» as well as «Close to You,» a viral track Abrams had teased a snippet of years ago. «Close to You» was initially released as a side B to a vinyl pressing for «Risk» and released June 6, 2024 on streaming. A longtime fan-favorite as well as a viral track on social media, «Close to You» debuted in the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Abrams' first solo entry and second overall, as well as receiving favorable comparisons to Lorde's “Melodrama” (2017). When The Secret of Us released, it was met with widespread commercial and critical acclaim. The record was praised for Abrams' songwriting as well as Aaron Dessner's production. Sonically, the album marked a change from Abrams' debut album “Good Riddance" which leaned into the indie genre and was generally more downtempo. In contrast, “The Secret of Us” was a pop-leaning record that featured upbeat numbers, such as «Blowing Smoke«, «Tough Love», and «I Love You, I'm Sorry». Commercially, the record also landed Abrams' third Billboard Hot 100 chart entry — «us.» which featured Taylor Swift. On the Billboard 200, the project debuted at #2, just behind Swift's “The Tortured Poets Department”, and in the UK it peaked at #1, dethroning “The Tortured Poets Department”. On July 17, 2024, Abrams released «I Love You, I'm Sorry» as the third single for the record. Promotion also consisted of several live performances, such as performing «Risk» on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, «Tough Love» on the Kelly Clarkson Show, «Blowing Smoke» on the Today Show, and the performances of «Close to You» and «Let It Happen» on Jimmy Kimmel Live. In September, Abrams will embark on the sold out "The Secret of Us Tour,” joined with special guest ROLE MODEL, and will perform in Europe the following month. After, she will rejoin The Eras Tour as a special guest in Canada and the U.S.
