    Across its 12 tracks, ‘Good Riddance’, is a deeply confessional offering, with decadent melodies and production that platform her distinctive vocal.

    Brilliantly, if subtly, displays a newfound maturity for Abrams.

    Agut-wrenching yet joyous journey into the thick of her every feeling, with neither sugar-coating or shame. It’s a walk on a tightrope, balanced precariously between a downward spiralling cascade of thought.

    Good Riddance verges on greatness, an incredibly honest portrayal of guilt, doubt, and heartbreak.

    Gracie Abrams focuses in and doubles down on the wispier ruminations of prior EPs, this time in full-on collaboration with This Is What It Feels Like contributor Aaron Dessner, who co-wrote and produced the entire album.

    Good Riddance is, in a word, nice. But there are plenty of other diaristic artists, ones whose music displays a certain sense of individuality.

    One of the best debut albums I've ever heard. Gracie Abrams is so talented and underrated. Every song on the album is written so beautifully,One of the best debut albums I've ever heard. Gracie Abrams is so talented and underrated. Every song on the album is written so beautifully, especially the lyrics about accountability and being the bad guy in a relationship after hearing so many songs which is about getting heartbroken but hearing songs about being the heartbreaker just hits different. the production is also very good but I am not even surprised considering Aaron Dessner composed this album. Some of the songs are so relatable with what I have been going through in life which got me in my feels. This album and Gracie deserves every award out there and everyone better stream this masterpiece.… Expand
