Abrams acknowledges that the album could not be more different from its predecessor.
Much of that erratic sensibility was aided and abetted by Audrey Hobert, Abrams childhood palturned-collaborator.
Now, they are roommates in their early 20s.

Abrams and Hobert co-wrote most of the songs onThe Secret of Usat home, often spontaneously.
It feels like this tornado of a moment and then you’ve got a song.
Not taking it all so seriously freed something in them.

It shifted the tone entirely, I think, with my writing personally.
Looking at Abrams recent coups, its easy to understand why shes been riding high.
But theBest New Artist Grammy nominees real breakthrough came with her coveted supporting slot onTaylor Swift’srecord-breaking Eras Tour.
Like countless Gen Z and millennial women, she grew up with Swifts music as her girlhood gospel.
Abrams is set to rejoin Swift for another leg of the Eras Tour starting in October.
This time, theyll both have fresh material to perform live.
I really wanted to make them feel more electrified by my set.
The Secret of Usis out June 21.
