Gracie Abrams performed ‘Look at My Life’ on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ during Monday’s broadcast, bringing a song from her album ‘Daughter from Hell’ to the NBC late-night stage. The 27-year-old singer-songwriter used the slot to present new material from the record to a national audience, adding another televised appearance to the album’s promotional run.
‘Look at My Life’ was released with a music video in June, and the song appears on ‘Daughter from Hell’ among 14 other tracks. The album, Abrams’s third, arrived in July and features the single ‘Hit the Wall.’ The video had introduced the song to listeners over the summer, ahead of the broader push now under way. She had earlier brought another song from the project, ‘Minibar,’ to Fallon’s program shortly after the record came out, making Monday’s performance her latest return to the same stage.
The booking arrived as Abrams prepares to take the album on the road. She has scheduled the ‘Look at My Life’ tour to open Dec. 2 in Denver, a run that will carry the songs into the winter months. Playing the single on network television kept the release in front of viewers in the stretch before those concert dates get under way.
Abrams has built a steady following over her earlier releases and has earned a Grammy nomination for her past work. The Fallon appearance continued a series of promotional stops tied to ‘Daughter from Hell,’ which has anchored much of her schedule through the second half of the year. Taken together, the run of television spots has kept the record in circulation months after its arrival. The performance gave ‘Look at My Life’ a prominent platform ahead of its live debut on the coming tour.
The singer is the daughter of J.J. Abrams, the creator of the television series ‘Lost,’ though her own career has developed in music rather than in film or television. Her latest turn on ‘The Tonight Show’ pointed to the sustained effort behind the album and its singles as the December tour approaches. For NBC’s late-night program, the segment offered a current pop release performed live for its audience.
