Abigail Fierce is setting memories ablaze and watching them smolder in style. With her latest release, “14 Cigarettes,” the independent pop-rock force delivers a breakup anthem laced with venom, vulnerability, and vintage spirit, proving yet again that she’s one of the most dynamic DIY artists of her generation.
Opening with the piercing line, “We didn’t die a natural death, you killed us with disrespect,” Fierce wastes no time diving into emotional wreckage. The track unravels like a movie reel, flickering with scenes of love gone toxic, a desert argument, a classic 1966 Mustang, and a moment so tense it turns dangerous. It’s the kind of heartbreak that haunts, and Fierce captures it with razor-sharp lyricism and a vocal delivery that’s equally furious and fragile.
Drawing inspiration from her real life, Abigail not only wrote “14 Cigarettes” solo but also played every instrument on the track except for drums, producing the song herself with unapologetic control. The result? A punchy, emotionally charged track that sits somewhere between Taylor Swift’s 1989 shimmer and Courtney Love’s grunge-stained rawness, a combo Fierce makes entirely her own.
A vintage soul is running through the track, not just in the story but in the sound, a subtle nod to her ex’s Mustang and her love for all things retro. But the heart of “14 Cigarettes” is blisteringly current. It’s that moment when the rose-tinted glasses fall off, and every ignored red flag starts flashing like sirens in your rearview mirror.
Already praised by Lavender Magazine and Wonderland Magazine for her fierce songwriting and boundary-pushing sound, Abigail continues to carve her lane unfiltered, unafraid, and completely in charge. “14 Cigarettes” is a reckoning. A last drag before tossing the past into the ashtray and speeding off into something better.
