Gracie Abrams delivers a deluxe version of her debut album, Good Riddance featuring four additional songs including "Block Me Out," "Unsteady," "405" and "Two People." Released in February 2023 and produced by Aaron Dessner of The National, Good Riddance finds Abrams opening up about a recent period of intense transformation, bringing even more honesty and depth to her lyrical storytelling.
Upon release of the original album, Abrams said, "Making this album was the most cathartic experience I've ever had as a songwriter, and I'm so excited to share it with the world. I wrote it while I was going through some of the biggest transitions of my life so far, and the songs came from trying to look at myself very honestly and hold myself accountable. Aaron supported me through all that, while also challenging me in all the ways I'd ever dreamed a creative partner would. He's been a hero of mine for years, and as our instincts combined it ended up creating a sound that we both really fell in love with."
Praising Good Riddance as "one of 2023's best debuts," Rolling Stone stated that the album "shows a serious command of autobiographical songwriting" and hailed Abrams as "one of pop's buzziest young artists." Billboard stated the "music is visceral, brutally honest, unflinchingly self-examining storytelling of the highest caliber."
