Gracie Abrams Shares Update on Her Next Album: ‘I’m Beyond ReadyThe "That's So True" singer-songwriter teased what she's been working on at an event in L.A.
Is new music from Gracie Abrams coming soon? Though the follow-up to her 2024 album, The Secret of Us, doesn’t have a release date, the singer-songwriter is itching to unleash her next record.
“I’m beyond ready for it to belong to everyone else,” Abrams said of what’s to come in an interview with People, who spoke with the singer-songwriter at a Jan. 7 Chanel event at Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles.
“I’ve never felt this way about anything I’ve made before, so it’s definitely driving me crazy in a good way,” she added of the music she’s been creating for her third album.
When asked about the anticipation of releasing GA3 out to the world, Abrams noted, “I love the feeling. I really like it right now. I think I feel kind of calm about it. I’ve been lucky enough to spend a lot of time with it.”
“At the end of the day, it’s all about the people you get to make things with and spend your time with, and that means the most to me right now,” she said. “So, yeah, any day in the studio is a great day.”
Abrams hasn’t yet revealed who she’s been sharing studio time with this time around — but she worked with producer Aaron Dessner (of the National) on her first two full-length albums, 2023’s Good Riddance and 2024’s The Secret of Us, which launched at No. 2 on the Billboard 200.
The Secret of Us featured a duet with Taylor Swift, “us.” The track was nominated for a Grammy in the best pop duo/group performance category at the show’s 2025 ceremony, though the award ultimately went to Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars for “Die With a Smile.” Swift and Abrams performed “us.” live together once on Swift’s Eras Tour, for which Abrams also had a slot as opener at select dates.
