This Is What It Feels Like (EP)

This Is What It Feels Like is the second EP by American singer and songwriter Gracie Abrams. It was released on November 12, 2021, through Interscope Records. Abrams co-wrote all the tracks, and as a producer on "Feels Like", which served as the lead single for the project. The production was mainly handled by Abrams, Aaron Dessner, Joel Little, and Blake Slatkin.

Background

Instead of this "full-length" being released as Abrams' debut album, it is being billed as a "project". It continues with the "emotional territory" that is first heard on her EP ''Minor.''
