Abra Moore

Abra Moore writes songs that feel like conversations you'd have with a close friend after midnight. Her music has a directness to it, whether she's singing about the nervous energy of a 'First Date' or the quiet resolve in 'I Win'. The songs on her debut album 'Heartbreak Hotel' move between soulful ballads and more guitar-driven tracks, all anchored by her voice.

She came up in Los Angeles, and you can hear some of that city's mix in what she does. Early on, she was listening to artists like Fiona Apple and Alanis Morissette, songwriters known for turning personal detail into something universal. That influence shows in her own writing, which tends to avoid abstraction in favor of specific, lived-in moments.

Her single 'Never Believe You Now' got some real attention when it came out. It's a breakup song that doesn't bother with metaphors, just the plain facts of disappointment. That straightforward approach is what connects with people. She's worked with a live band called The Chain Gang, and the recordings have a loose, present feel to them, like the musicians are figuring it out together in the room.
