Recommendations Based On "Daughter From Hell" by Gracie Abrams

If you don’t understand how the Gracie Abrams fandom has grown to be so big and loyal to  the Gen-Z sad-girl-pop singer, allow me to inform you. No other singer commits to the feeling of being an overthinking anxious-avoidant obsessive-compulsive depressed lover-girl workaholic quite like Abrams. As I selected songs I’d recommend based on each individual song on her latest album, Daughter from Hell, I was shocked to see how many themes she’s embodied again and again and again throughout her discography that almost no one else seems to talk about. Accepting the challenge, I’ve made a list of recommendations based on every song on this record. Linked at each song title is a Spotify playlist with even more songs I found while scouring my 4,000 song Spotify library. A playlist combining all recommendations is linked here.

From oldies to recent releases to favorites from other popular artists, here are songs you might like but not know yet based on your favorite song on Daughter from Hell.
