Wearing her heart on her sleeve, Gracie Abrams allows her vulnerability to shine through in Long Sleeves.

Singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams may only be 20 years old, but the sensitivity that she demonstrates in her tender new single Long Sleeves hints at an emotional maturity that extends beyond her age. The captivating new single sets the tone for her upcoming debut project, minor, which will be released on June 16th.

Laying bare all of her emotions and vulnerabilities for the world to see, Long Sleeves is deeply touching as it tells a personal tale. The hushed accompaniment makes you feel like you’re being let in on a secret, as Gracie’s dulcet vocals float on top of delicate acoustic guitar and dreamy ambient tones. Stripping back for a simplistic accompaniment allows the emotional intensity of Gracie’s writing take centre stage, and paired with her graceful delivery, the face-level fragility is supported by an ocean of swirling emotions sustaining the track.

Speaking more on Long Sleeves, Gracie shares:

‘Long Sleeves’ is the song I’ve been trying to write since I was 14. Finishing this one felt like I could actually breathe differently. I’d never really felt closure like that before.
