Talented singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams has recently captivated her growing audience with her latest single "Close To You." Released via the singer’s The Secret of Us album just last month, the increasingly popular pop song showcases Abrams' raw and emotional vocals, drawing listeners in with its poignant lyrics and haunting melody.

Comprised of an upbeat, synthy ‘80s energy rooted in passion — the track showcases a stylistic switch-up for the rising star, who previously generated copious streams through her acoustic pop tendencies. Conceptually, the song explores themes of heartache and longing, delving into the complexities of relationships and the yearning for connection.

Expanding on its lyrical ambitions, Abrams' soulful delivery of the track’s conflicted lyricism infuses the song with a sense of vulnerability and authenticity, creating a powerful and cathartic listening experience. Which, has since been substantiated on streaming platforms where "Close To You" has gained major traction amassing nearly 50 million streams so far.

Abrams' latest release comes on the heels of her debut EP, This Is What It Feels Like, garnering critical acclaim and solidifying her status as a rising star in the music industry.
