Gracie Abrams Reveals Clubbing Is Now a Major Part of Her Life

Gracie Abrams has shared that spending nights dancing at clubs has become an important part of her everyday life. The singer songwriter is getting ready to release her upcoming album, Daughter from Hell, on 17 July. During a recent conversation with Vogue, Abrams said going out dancing with her friends has allowed her to face some of her biggest anxieties while also encouraging her to explore new ideas in her music. "No, just like going to the club!" she replied when asked whether she had been taking dance lessons. "In the past six months, going out and dancing has become a really central part of my life. It's been such an exciting outlet." At the same time as working on new songs, Abrams has also secured her first acting job in Halina Reijn's A24 period drama Please. Although the 26 year old performer is staying quiet about the details of the film, she admitted she is feeling nervous before stepping onto a movie set for the first time. "I'm trying to remain open to whatever the experience looks like and feels like," Abrams, the daughter of filmmaker and producer J.J. Abrams, explained. "And not get in my own way or let fear dictate my openness. I am very curious about how that's going to unfold. It feels so weird talking about it, having not shot it yet." As though balancing acting, music, and dancing was not enough, Abrams said she has also picked up a new creative pastime, drawing. The Hit the Wall musician has started creating pastel portraits of the people closest to her. "I'm drawing little portraits of friends whenever we're together," she shared. "There's something quick and kind of silly about it, but I also find it very therapeutic and peaceful. I love it because it's not that deep."
