When we first caught wind of Abrams’ music in 2020, we tapped her as “the next Lorde” – though Good Riddance does well in positioning the Californian artist in a place where her voice is standing out on its own.There is a unique power that has been found in pairing lyrical vulnerability with self-deprecation, humour and self-awareness.

The EP gave us some heavier topics, treated with tenderness and openness (‘For Real This Time’, ‘Feels Like’); Good Riddance takes those high points and goes deeper. Abrams balances melancholy with optimism – providing the listener with numerous easy entry points to her world.Abrams’ creative relationship with producer and co-writer Aaron Dessner is central to Good Riddance. While the two collaborated on a few songs for her 2021 EP This Is What It Feels Like, Abrams described their dynamic on this record as “a very tiny bubble, which felt like such a safe space to work through what I needed to process in these songs.” This comfort is palpable across the record: There are moments that display an admirable capacity for self-interrogation (“Used to lie to your face 20 times in a day/It was my little strange addiction” on “Best”), even if others feel like a middle school lesson on writing a metaphor (“I’m your ghost right now/Your house is haunted”; “I’m a rollercoaster/You’re a dead-end street” on “I know it won’t work” and “Full machine,” respectively).
