What do people have with the album cover? This looks just as terrible, profile neurotic and uninspired as most pop covers. Kim Petras, Coi Leray, Ariana, also Sam Smiths latest one was terrible af. Don't see how this is obviously so much worse.
In my head, I think Gracie belongs to a genre I’d call “Eras Tour opener wannabe”. Alt-pop/indie folk artists who are clearly inspired by Folklore-era Taylor Swift and Phoebe Bridgers but whose songwriting is nowhere as interesting, and often end up having Aaron Dessner produce their albums but the production sounds like stuff from the cutting room floor or Folklore and Evermore.
Exactly. phoebe Bridgers has obviously drawn inspiration from classic (ish) artists like Elliott smith and mark kozelek, but the new “indie folk” girls ONLY have Phoebe and some Taylor to draw from, so they lack all the nuance found in phoebes music
She's literally mediocre by the original definition of the term. She's not a great, she's not terrible, she's just kind of…average. But why spend your time listening to an average singer songwriter when there are so many better ones out there?
@@kmlevitt4058 There’s a thousand girls on TikTok who could do way more with the opportunities she was afforded by having a famous father. Which makes it very easy to root against her. She has generational wealth to fall back on even if her music career tanks like it should.
@@VARMOT123 They might look good and they might not make your type of music, but Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Lana Del Rey, Billie Eilish, Adele etc etc all make better and more memorable music than Gracie Abrams.
I listened to the song with the Taylor feature and like 10 seconds in she pronounced " see her" like "she her" and I completely checked out, thought it was a pun at first but then realised that these Taylor swift wannabes are just refusing to not talk like 14 year olds trying to be cute
@@El0figthe point of nepo baby is someone who has incredible access through wealth or status. She had so many resources alot of talented kids will never have. She might not be a traditional nepo baby but she comes from an UNBELIEVABLE level of privilege
@dylanmiller1140 yeah, she might got that opportunity, and like melon said, who wouldn't take it if the same was given to you? Not totally defending actual nepo babies but most of that resentment comes from jealousy tbh
I guess it makes sense. Gracie's dad directed the two most mediocre Star Wars movies of all time, and she makes the most mediocre sad girl pop music of all time. Like father, like daughter.
@peterproductions5015 TFA is slightly (and I do mean *slightly*) better than RoS because the pacing isn't as bad and it's (mercifully) shorter. I personally don't understand how the accepted opinion is that TFA gets a pass when there are just as many stupid ideas as in RoS and it fails to capture the feeling and tone of the series of movies it's supposedly a sequel to.
@@DTheAustraliangot lost in your response. It might be that the issue is with the fact that the Woke SW is just creativily bankrupt, lazy and that it fails to deliver any real character development and storytelling whilst pushing some heavy handed gender politics. Oh and it has little to no respect for the source material it tries to exploit for an easy buck.:)
i went to high school with a girl who was good friends with gracie, so i always rooted for her to be a compelling artist despite my dislike towards her fabricated career/success, but she disappointingly proves to be an AI-generated artist without an identity time and time again. most egregious case of industry planting and pumping ive seen in my lifetime
I'm sure she's a perfectly nice person. But the music industry is really competitive and you need to be more than nice and pretty talented to stand out. Either there's something truly special about you, or nobody cares and you need to go back to a day job or have your family pay your way through life. Unfortunately, Gracie is in the latter category.
possibly one of the worst album covers I’ve seen. Her previous release shown in the vid has decent cover art, so why is this one so… just absolutely awful?
He’s saying to imagine YOU had famous parents and you wanted to pursue something in entertainment, wouldn’t you leverage your name to get opportunities? Of course you would. Quit acting dense.
super 8 was garbage for many reasons - not least of all that ending. If you like that film, its likely because its better IN COMPARISON to all of the other trash JJ has made, and nearly all of it is total trash. Of course, sometimes trash sells.
@@xBINARYGODx honestly i haven't seen any other jj abrams movie. i just found it super entertaining and for some reason nostalgic even though i didn't exist in the 80s lol. definitely not claiming its some high piece of art.

i feel like gracie abrams knows that people like phoebe bridgers and taylor swift are really good and she tries to imitate them but i don’t think she knows WHY they’re good so she imitates the most superficial parts of their styles… in my opinion her music has no personality or really anything about it that makes it its own
I honestly can't decide if being a nepo baby would suck or rock. Like you get to put out bullshit for your whole life and never come close to failing, automatically getting in with some of the biggest names in the biz cause of your family. But I feel that security from failure means people like Gracie can never really grow as an artist because they'll never have that moment of introspection after a crushing failure, they'll just get pats on the back from throngs of yes men.
Idk if her dad got her connected to taylor swift first and that was how she got Aaron, Jack & justin or if her dad got her straight to them. Seems it was via TS. I saw gracie when she opened for taylor last summer, not knowing who tf she was. I like her voice but idk what she's doing with it. Lol

I respect your take on her and the album and I understand she's not the most unique artist but she's for the heartbroken girlies and I just don't think you can relate :/
i remember hearing a snippet of one of the singles she released for the album and thinking it was pretty average pop folk style music. nothing remotely interesting or passionate. I'm pissed to hear this album proved my assumptions cause I hear a lot of olivia rodrigo fans like gracie and I listen to Olivia on a regular basis
i respectfully disagree tbh. naming olivia rodrigo and lorde as artists she's "derivative" of is interesting, especially since olivia rodgrigo herself said she was inspired to write driver's license after listening to gracie's EP minor. also in your track review of close to you, you said it sounds like a lorde track, even though she technically wrote it before lorde released melodrama. i agree the vocals aren't the best, but i feel like there are still a lot of solid tracks.
I agree, Olivia's songwriting style is pretty much inspired by Gracie Abrams. But I say Olivia is more interesting than Gracie, Olivia has very expressive voice and delivery compared to her. It's a shame, I thought I would like her songs, since they both write similarly. Gracie needs to express herself more in her songs. I don't see personality in her songs tbh
@@SherwinCeleste-cj7ng i respect your opinion, i think a lot of good riddance/this is what it feels like was nondescript but i think this album is considerably better. and yes, i prefer olivia's music WAY more, but i like gracie a lot too
The daughter of the guy who undid the themes presented in The Last Jedi to basically say that nepo babies are actually cool SOMEHOW makes uninspired art? Wow
i went to check out one of her songs after this and i was honestly shocked by how bad it is. the songwriting just feels so off… like none of the rhymes work, it doesn’t emotionally connect at ALL
what‘s going on in this comment section? This is just straight up bullying? You don’t have to like it, but since you aren‘t even interested in her music why even judge? I really like EVERY song on her album and she does not even feel like a ripp off of Taylor Swift or sorts. I mean you can judge how its produced. But as a non-music expert even the Production and her voice sound fine to me. It even gets me really emotional. But I think with songs where its really about the lyrics you kind of just have to feel some relatability to catch the overall vibe that I really feel btw. Just leaving this as a friendly reminder to stop hating. She‘s still human and you can‘t just assume that she has no real passion about it just because you cant see it. Everything about art is subjective.
im a Taylor Swift fan but all these new artists she carry and describes them as having strong potential to that "princess status" of a specific genre is embarrassing e.g, Gracie, Ice Spice, GAYLE, SabrinaC. etc. like c'mon there are LOTS of deserving and REAL TALENTED artists for u to help them to gain more recognition 😒
You made several valid points but I will stand by this album and pretty much all of Gracie's older work until the day I die. People love to act like their opinion is the end all, be all and say "this album is garbage, she's a priveledged nepo baby with no talent, etc etc" as if their sole interpretation is fact. Unfortunately, different taste is what makes us human. I personaly loved this album and feel that a lot of the hate gracie is getting is exceedingly unwarranted, but yet again, that's simply an opinion. An opinion that I am entitled to, just the same as everyone else. If her discography doesn't resonate with you, that's fine, but it's imperative to remember that it does resonate with others. Carry on!
sounds boring the first listen but really enjoyed it the second time. disagreed that Gracie doesn't have a personality tho, because I aсtually can relate to a lot of things she's singing about, maybe I lack personality idk. ofc it's nothing new but 3 is harsh imo. this album is much better than Taylor's ttpd and I'm her fan lol
Bland and Unseasoned are their brand (Taylor & Gracie) and they stay on brand this year. And the swifties are just so used to tastelessness to realize that 😊
Saw her live recently with t swifty as the opener and have to say the studio stuff doesn’t do her justice. She does have talent and the songs sound better live. Not huge on t swift but my wife is a fan in case you’re wondering.
The track he is talking about ‘close to you’ is actually a bop though. Is it a Greenlight/Supercut derivative? For sure, but we’re in a Lorde drought the last few years so I don’t mind
@@Codexter1I don’t understand the line between inspiration and impressions, bc I don’t think it sounds like she’s trying to be lorde but I also know that it sounds like lorde 😭😭
Thing is, Gracie actually made this song like 7 years ago, before lorde even released melodrama, then she kind of scraped it but the fans kept asking for it to be released so she didd
Anthony you can't just give her a 3 just because you didn't like Rise of Skywalker
Completely valid reason tbh
No one liked it tho.

No more like if Gracie wasn’t a women he would have gave it a 10
@@shewalk3onmeI’m not a fan of him but i don’t think misogyny was the reason for the poor score, she’s just doing what many pop girls do but worse
@@shewalk3onmemisoginy is when fantano gives bad rating to women artists, huh?
@@shewalk3onmeHe gave Brat a 10, dipshit
@@shewalk3onmeI feel like your js trying to justify why this album isn’t bland
Didn't even knew about her existence and after listening to one of her songs, I regret it
Surprised you even noticed this album lolol
i respectfully disagree tbh. naming olivia rodrigo and lorde as artists she's "derivative" of is interesting, especially since olivia rodgrigo herself said she was inspired to write driver's license after listening to gracie's EP minor. also in your track review of close to you, you said it sounds like a lorde track, even though she technically wrote it before lorde released melodrama. i agree the vocals aren't the best, but i feel like there are still a lot of solid tracks.
agree
I agree, Olivia's songwriting style is pretty much inspired by Gracie Abrams. But I say Olivia is more interesting than Gracie, Olivia has very expressive voice and delivery compared to her. It's a shame, I thought I would like her songs, since they both write similarly.
Gracie needs to express herself more in her songs. I don't see personality in her songs tbh
@@SherwinCeleste-cj7ng i respect your opinion, i think a lot of good riddance/this is what it feels like was nondescript but i think this album is considerably better. and yes, i prefer olivia's music WAY more, but i like gracie a lot too
fr I also think that Imperfect vocals can also make a song feel raw which is what her songs convey to me
The daughter of the guy who undid the themes presented in The Last Jedi to basically say that nepo babies are actually cool SOMEHOW makes uninspired art?
Wow
i went to check out one of her songs after this and i was honestly shocked by how bad it is. the songwriting just feels so off… like none of the rhymes work, it doesn’t emotionally connect at ALL
which song?
what‘s going on in this comment section? This is just straight up bullying? You don’t have to like it, but since you aren‘t even interested in her music why even judge? I really like EVERY song on her album and she does not even feel like a ripp off of Taylor Swift or sorts. I mean you can judge how its produced. But as a non-music expert even the Production and her voice sound fine to me. It even gets me really emotional. But I think with songs where its really about the lyrics you kind of just have to feel some relatability to catch the overall vibe that I really feel btw.
Just leaving this as a friendly reminder to stop hating. She‘s still human and you can‘t just assume that she has no real passion about it just because you cant see it. Everything about art is subjective.
do all the songs end with you?
im a Taylor Swift fan but all these new artists she carry and describes them as having strong potential to that "princess status" of a specific genre is embarrassing
e.g, Gracie, Ice Spice, GAYLE, SabrinaC. etc.
like c'mon there are LOTS of deserving and REAL TALENTED artists for u to help them to gain more recognition 😒
its just her opinion, she's not the president lmao
@@theymakefunofmyname-qz4dq yk her opinions strongly diverts everything.
@@viceeroyy wow.. she can stop world hunger then
@@theymakefunofmyname-qz4dq she can't but she can lessen, she can stop you tho
I agree with all of the names mentioned except for Sabrina Carpenter.
The album cover is looking at him like "How dare you give me a 3"
An Abrams producing something that is slickly made but is ultimately devoid of any substance?
Interesting.
She came out of nowhere, i’ve literally never heard of her before June, and now she's being sold as “the one to watch”
I can't believe that somehow J.J. Abrams returned and now he's messed up music through his daughter. Can this man do anything right?
I’m rewatching Lost, it’s really good imo. I’m not even mad at the ending anymore 🤷🏽♂️
You made several valid points but I will stand by this album and pretty much all of Gracie's older work until the day I die. People love to act like their opinion is the end all, be all and say "this album is garbage, she's a priveledged nepo baby with no talent, etc etc" as if their sole interpretation is fact. Unfortunately, different taste is what makes us human. I personaly loved this album and feel that a lot of the hate gracie is getting is exceedingly unwarranted, but yet again, that's simply an opinion. An opinion that I am entitled to, just the same as everyone else. If her discography doesn't resonate with you, that's fine, but it's imperative to remember that it does resonate with others. Carry on!
SAY IT LOUDER
FR! 😭
he literally says in every video this is just his opinion. i dont even like anthony like that but he is really not doing that lol
I thought i had a hair on my screen, but it's actually on the fking album cover.......
Don’t let fantano see this comment 😔
Donda album cover > The Secret of us album cover
Controversial opinion but I think the album is pretty decent. Is it breaking trends not at all but there are some really good tracks on there.
So does Jack Antonoff just work with anyone who can fart into a microphone these days? I fucking knew his name would come up there.
That album cover is so incredibly sauceless
I don’t even know who that is
Moot point, Fantano reviews niche artists all the time
sounds boring the first listen but really enjoyed it the second time. disagreed that Gracie doesn't have a personality tho, because I aсtually can relate to a lot of things she's singing about, maybe I lack personality idk. ofc it's nothing new but 3 is harsh imo. this album is much better than Taylor's ttpd and I'm her fan lol
Oh wait, this is not Meets the Grahams Part 2😓
no it's meet the abrams
@@KaffeeBlumethis was clever
you should check out dall by artms, composed by 5 loona members! (heejin, haseul, kim lip, jinsoul, choerry)
sorry man but bro is not listening to loona
He has in the past tho
Bland and Unseasoned are their brand (Taylor & Gracie) and they stay on brand this year. And the swifties are just so used to tastelessness to realize that 😊
Godthony whytano sure is a way to start a video
Saw her live recently with t swifty as the opener and have to say the studio stuff doesn’t do her justice. She does have talent and the songs sound better live. Not huge on t swift but my wife is a fan in case you’re wondering.
Her video of “us” with Taylor in the UK is a good example of what I’m talking about
She does have talent! I was surprised when I heard her live she is pretty talented actually.
If it was called Brat by English popstar icon Charli xcx (previously Charli XCX) it would have been a 10
the national cant even make their own albums sound good rn
To think I was thinking of checking out this album. Not sure if I should anymore 💀
U should
you letting another mans opinion dictate if you listen to an album or not, you a follower lowkey
You should, I’m a big fan of it. Different tastes is what makes us human :))
It’s a decent album with some standout tracks for sure
Taylor Swift-clones are clogging up "indie" spheres so much lately and it's just so exhausting.
Taylor Swift haters more obsessed with Taylor than swifties, its annoying
I haven't even listened to this album, and just by looking at the cover art alone, I can tell that Gracie has as much personality as a Dunsparce.
technically you can’t say close to you is midnights baby bc the song existed before midnights
Doesn't even sound like midnights at all
I want to know who's the person who keeps pushing this mid in Spotify. They must be getting some crazy head
We got fantano reviewing some random Nepo Baby before Alcest or Pond
I have never heard of her until this past week
Midnights leftover? Lorde impression? Gotta listen to this
The track he is talking about ‘close to you’ is actually a bop though. Is it a Greenlight/Supercut derivative? For sure, but we’re in a Lorde drought the last few years so I don’t mind
@@Codexter1I don’t understand the line between inspiration and impressions, bc I don’t think it sounds like she’s trying to be lorde but I also know that it sounds like lorde 😭😭
Thing is, Gracie actually made this song like 7 years ago, before lorde even released melodrama, then she kind of scraped it but the fans kept asking for it to be released so she didd
Hey babe, new industry plant just dropped!
This album was truly insufferable 😅
Olivia Rodrigo said that she was inspired by Gracie, and she wrote this before Lorde how is this problematic??
WHT u mean... That's Dua Lipa
the way that this still scored higher than ultraviolence… fantano you will pay for your crimes one day!!!
I had no idea she was JJ Abrams’ kid until today
Damn literally nobody is defending this 😂
I love this album
"Graphic design is my passion" ass album cover
She was just nominated for Best New Artist (MTV). I don't get. I am so bored by her music. I did love her music video for Risk, but that's it 🤷.
