Abigail Fierce is the real deal. With over 5.7 million streams under her belt on Spotify alone, Abigail Fierce’s potential for mass appeal is palpable. The LA-based completely indie artist is unafraid to be herself. And what is she, exactly? Fiercely authentic. She doesn’t seem to edit herself based on what she wants people to see, which is evident in her diverse music catalog, that ranges from the melancholy folk song, “I Just Wanna Feel Okay Again” to the raring pop-punk LGBTQ+ anthem “Scream It to the Whole World”.
Abigail’s upcoming single “14 Cigarettes” is the next chapter in her music journey. Weaving all of her favorite genres to make something truly special, Abigail Fierce seems to have seamlessly found a bizarre yet intoxicating crossroad between Taylor Swift and Courtney Love. On the track, you’ll hear 2010’s singer-songwriter & 90’s grunge influence, creating the perfect modern day indie sound. Swirling electric guitars and angsty vocals will have you recalling Alanis Morissette & Ed Sheeran at the same time. You may even think of Billie Eilish or Fiona Apple, Miley Cyrus, circa ‘Flowers’ or ‘Hannah Montana’. When Abigail flat out screams on the bridge, not only do you feel her emotional turmoil, but for a quick moment you think…is this emo? You’ll hear Abigail’s true love for all kinds of music throughout her whole discography, but this song really brings them all together in a way that works, and still feels cohesive.
As always, Abigail’s lyrics draw a clear image in your mind and elicit a poignant, often visceral, feeling. The song’s most poetic moments lie in the verses. With lines like “Err on the side of disconnect, our love always had side effects” and the killer opening lyric “We didn’t die a natural death, you killed us with disrespect”, Abigail Fierce, the sole writer on the song, proves that she could hang up there with Bob Dylan & Taylor Swift, all while maintaining a dark, haunting edge à la Kurt Cobain. Simply driving the message home on the chorus, Abigail sings: “Now it hurts me to think of you driving away in your old Mustang, with my cassette tapes on the dash. When you left you took a piece of me, 14 cigarettes & all my best memories.” A break-up song at its core, it covers the full span of heartbreak, from still being in contact with your ex, missing them, being angry at them, and then – on the exploding, chaotic bridge – being mad at yourself, and finally admitting that you saw the red flags all along. (All within the span of under 4 minutes.)
Abigail says the song is inspired by Abigail’s love for vintage cars and a real-life trip to the desert with an argument that led to erratic driving, and that sickening feeling of when red flags become reality.
“Everyone in the business always says ‘fake it til you make it’ but I hate fake sh*t. l’d rather work quietly and then let the music speak for itself.” It’s also worth mentioning Abigail’s other career: acting. She can be seen as Wendy in the Hulu series “Love, Victor”, as well as the NBC show “This is Us”, Netflix’s “American Vandal” and the LeBron James produced Paramount+/Nickelodeon movie “Fantasy Football” starring Kelly Rowland (from “Destiny’s Child”). Abigail latest project is starring alongside mega-influencers Bryce Hall & Hannah Stocking in the 50-Cent produced horror satire film “SkillHouse”, slated to premiere in theaters July 11th, 2025. A versatile and charming young actress, her skill also shines through in her award-winning music videos
