Good Riddance is primarily a pop album with soft, whispered vocals and moody production. Following themes of guilt, inner shames, and the troubles that come with growing up, the album is primarily written about Abrams' breakup with Blake Slatkin. After the album's release, Abrams embarked on the Good Riddance Tour during 2023 and 2024. Critics gave the album generally favorable reviews, praising Abrams' confessional songwriting and Dessner's production. Several publications featured it on their year-end lists.

Background

Gracie Abrams was interested in writing and playing piano since age eight. [1] [2] Though she never considered performing music professionally, [1] Abrams released her debut EP Minor in 2020, [3] followed by This Is What It Feels Like in 2021. [4] The EPs helped gain Abrams attention from high-profile musicians such as Billie Eilish, Lorde, and Olivia Rodrigo. [5] They also received critical acclaim, [6] [7] [8] allowing This Is What It FeelsLike to place sixth on Coup de Main's list of the best albums of 2021. [9] Abrams joined alongside Rodrigo for the latter's Sour Tour [8] and headlined her own This Is What It Feels Like Tour, to support This Is What It Feels Like. [10] Abrams later drew the attention of Taylor Swift, who invited Abrams to open for Swift's The Eras Tour. [1] [11]

Writing and recording

When writing Good Riddance, Abrams practiced on being more accountable and a better partner in future relationships. [2] [12] Abrams enlisted returning collaborator Aaron Dessner of the National as the album's producer and co-writer. The album was recorded at Dessner's Long Pond Studio in Hudson Valley, New York. [13] [11] [2] Abrams would often work 12-hour days and would write up to two songs a day while staying with Dessner and his family at Long Pond. [2] [14] Abrams had recently gone through a breakup with the producer Blake Slatkin during the early stages of writing the album, which led her to feel insecure when writing about the breakup. Dessner convinced Abrams to move forward with writing and recording the songs. [2] The two would often have "long and honest conversations about love, life, and everything in between." [14]

Good Riddance was produced by Aaron Dessner and was recorded at his own Long Pond Studio.

Abrams had been a fan of the National since age 12. When she met Dessner for the first time in the Spring of 2021, [2] she didn't "feel remotely filtered in any capacity" while working with him, leading Dessner to produce tracks on This Is What It Feels Like. [15] [12] She had felt lucky about being able to evolve without Slatkin, a former collaborator of Abrams, and that "with Aaron, [she] felt safe to figure out [her] sound alone" when writing Good Riddance. [15] Abrams felt that recording in Long Pond was more inspiring and comfortable compared to recording in Los Angeles and was isolated from distractions. [14] [16] [11] She also has said that Dessner has the ability to make people "feel safe to explore the most raw parts of themselves" and reminded her that "holding space for brutal honesty in songwriting is kind of the whole point". [17]

The producer Matias Tellez provided additional production on the tracks "I Know It Won't Work" and "Where Do We Go Now?" and the musician Brian Eno co-produced the closing track "Right Now". [18] Abrams finished her contributions to the album on September 7, 2022. [2]

Composition

Overview

The standard edition of Good Riddance includes 12 tracks; [19] the deluxe edition contains four additional tracks. [20] The album predominantly has a pop sound, [21] [18] [22] [19] with an influence of indie rock. [23] [24] Isabella Miller of Clash said that the album has elements of "alternative folk blended with playful electronics." [19] Jane Bua of Pitchfork classified the album as "whisperpop" [21] while Miller labelled the album as "sad girl pop". She also wrote that "there's an evident shift in the direction of [Abrams'] sound" and attributes it to either Dessner's production or "a deliberate choice from Abrams". [19] Hannah Mylrea of NME noted that the album held similarities to Phoebe Bridgers and Folklore (2020) by Swift. [23]

Good Riddance describes Abrams' breakup with Slatkin. [15] [24] The album presents Abrams' "distinctive" [23] [19] [24] whispered vocals addressing themes of guilt, inner shames, and the troubles that come with growing up. [25] Martyn Young of Dork wrote that the tracks "begin delicately before swelling to quietly epic proportions." [26] Saloni Gajjar of The A.V. Club called the album "soft and quiet, but also soothing and heartbreaking at the same time". [27] Dork wrote that the album takes you on "a journey through a spectrum of emotions" and that "each song blossoms from a whisper to a crescendo, encapsulating the most simple yet resonant feelings." [28] Maya Georgi of Rolling Stone described the album's melodies as "soft-spoken" and "simple" and are "steeped in sadness but still pack a punch." [29] Critics universally described Abrams' songwriting as "confessional". [a]

Songs

The album's opening track, "Best", analyzes Abrams' misgivings in a relationship and takes responsibility for them. [23] [19] The second track, "I Know It Won't Work", is an indie rock song [23] about "breaking off a relationship with a partner who won’t go easily", as described by Cordelia Lam of The Forty-Five. [32] Lam also described the production in "Full Machine" as consisting of "cool, moody textures" and that the track is "a thoughtful and revelatory exploration of the relationships by which we define our lives and what happens to them when we change." [32] "Where Do We Go Now?" contains "swooning" strings, synthesizers, and repeated loops of the title. [23] [19] [21] [24] Lyndsey Havens of Billboard noted that "the song eventually becomes less about the status of her relationship to another person and more about the status of anyone’s relationship with the world around them." [33] On the fifth track, "I Should Hate You", Abrams discusses the "complex position of wanting to hate someone she still loves" as the "dejected" and "intensifying" pop track sonically unravels. [34] [22] "Will You Cry?" further alludes to Abrams' breakup with Slatkin, examining her mental health, family and friends, and "the woes that come with navigating your early 20s." [19] It admits the fact that there is "nothing left" in the relationship and that if she doesn't end the relationship, she would lose herself. [30]

For Pitchfork, Bua described "Amelie" as "bewitching" and noted that it "captures a sense of aching beauty that stands out amongst the album’s more passive moments" atop a finger-picked acoustic guitar and "foggy" piano notes. She also proposed the idea that "'Amelie' could be anyone: a past lover, a lost childhood friend, an alter ego." [21] Hannah Dailey of Billboard called it "a tender love letter to the ways a stranger can permanently alter our lives without realizing." [15] Its lyrics question whether Amelie is a real person or if Abrams' memory is playing tricks on her. [30] The theme of guilt is again explored on the high-energy and upbeat "Difficult". [14] [35] [30] Will Schube of uDiscover Music wrote that the track contains beats from a drum machine, a "delicate" piano, "crystalline" textures, and a "soaring" chorus as Abrams discusses the "claustrophobia that comes with being unable to escape your own thoughts and possibly destructive patterns". [35] Habi Diallo of Dazed wrote that both "Difficult" and the following "This Is What the Drugs Are For" "[unpack] relatable experiences such as losing friendships, therapy and the guilt that comes with leaving home." [36] The track recalls Abrams' use of drugs to numb the pain of the memories of her past relationship. [30] Gajjar described it as "evocative". [27] "Fault Line" acknowledges the faults of her ex-partner. It also reveals that Abrams had recovered from their breakup. [30] The penultimate "The Blue" marks a turning point in the album's theme, focusing on a new love after Abrams recovered from her ex-partner. [24] [30] While the earlier tracks have more dejected themes, [22] "The Blue" is hopeful and optimistic. [24] The album's final track, "Right Now", reflects on the difficulty of life as it goes on and leaving the past behind atop simplistic production that is powered by "whirring" synthesizers. [23] [22] [30]

Upon its release, Good Riddance received generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received a weighted average score of 73 based on 6 reviews. [45] The aggregator AnyDecentMusic? gave it 7.3 out of 10, based on their assessment of the critical consensus. [44]

In a perfect review for Dork, Young called it "a masterclass in intimate and evocative songwriting." The review concluded, "It's a debut that perfectly illustrates the transcendent quality of a very special composition." [26] Bua emphasizes Abrams' writing, calling her "honest and personal, offering moments of clear, quiet charm", but notes, "Writing with emotional transparency is only one part of the equation, especially given the ubiquity of 'sad girl' songs these days." [21] For DIY , Neive McCarthy defined the album as "a heartbreaking but joyful journey into the depth of each of your feelings." In addition, she highlighted the songs "I Should Hate You", "Full Machine", "This Is What the Drugs Are For", and "Right Now" for their lyrics, production, and sounds. [22] Some critics highlighted Aaron Dessner's distinctive touch on the tracks. [23]

In a mixed review, Amaya Lin of The Line of Best Fit opined, "Disappointingly, the greatness verges but never crests. Abrams' writing is both hyperspecific and extremely vague, referring to situations and characters that lack essential context", and notes Dessner's production for illuminating "an especially delicate side of Abrams' confessional composition". [24] For the newspaper i , Kate Solomon wrote, "As intimate and beautifully drawn as the songs almost universally are, it's so relentlessly downbeat that it becomes difficult to tune into for a whole album", deeming it "an album to wallow in and not move on from."
