Gracie Abrams sent a message to her listeners on Instagram Saturday. DFH, her upcoming project, releases in less than a week.
The indie pop singer-songwriter opened by recapping an in-person fan gathering in New York. “I loved seeing some of you,” she wrote. It “really honestly made me so happy,” she added. A Statue of Liberty emoji placed the event in the city.
She followed with a note of appreciation for the people tracking the project. “DFH is out in less than a week and I just want to say how much I appreciate you caring about it,” Abrams wrote.
She also tagged Electric Lady Studios, the storied Greenwich Village recording facility. DFH was made there. Abrams addressed the space directly: “Love you. Thank you for hosting us.”
The message closed with four words: “I have not changed !” A goblin emoji followed.
The post drew over 321,000 likes on Instagram by Saturday. That’s a notable response for a caption with no audio preview and no visual teaser attached.
The “I have not changed” line got the most attention. Abrams released “Good Riddance” in 2023, and the album shifted her career in a big way. It earned her a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Solo Performance and introduced her to an audience well beyond the indie circuit. She’s collaborated with Taylor Swift, toured internationally, and continued releasing music in the years since. Her profile has grown steadily across that stretch. The declaration reads as a brief statement about creative direction. Nothing has shifted, and she’s saying so directly.
Electric Lady Studios has its own history worth noting. Jimi Hendrix commissioned the Greenwich Village facility in 1970. Artists from David Bowie to Beyoncé and Daft Punk have recorded there over the decades. Recording DFH at Electric Lady was deliberate. The studio is one of New York’s most historically significant rooms.
The New York fan event mentioned in the post wasn’t publicly announced in advance, based on available reporting. No venue, date, or format details were included in the caption.
Comment responses were largely warm. Several listeners zeroed in on the “I have not changed” line and replied in kind. Others flagged the Electric Lady shoutout. A number of comments referenced the New York gathering, with several thanking Abrams for making time for it.
DFH is expected to drop before the end of the week. No track listing or collaborators have been confirmed publicly.
