Rita Ora, Gryyfin

.

Dance music maverick Gryffin has unveiled his new single ‘LAST OF US’ featuring internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter Rita Ora. The beginning of a new era for Gryffin, ‘LAST OF US’ serves as the first track off his anticipated third studio album PULSE, due out later this year via Virgin Music Group.

‘LAST OF US’ sees Gryffin hone in on the anthemic dance sounds that have cemented his status as a beloved electronic act. Ripe with bright, euphoric synthwork and pulsating basslines, Gryffin lays the groundwork for Rita Ora’s rich vocals and heartwarming tale of everlasting love. A paragon of the upbeat energy fans can expect on PULSE, ‘LAST OF US’ lends itself to Gryffin’s harmonious balance of dancefloor-focused melodies and emotive lyricism.

“‘LAST OF US’ marks the beginning of a brand new era of music for me, and I couldn’t be more excited. ‘LAST OF US’ gets back to the feelings and emotions I got when I first fell in love with dance music. I wanted this to have a euphoric, anthemic feel to it, but also be very emotional at the same time. Rita Ora completely elevated the song to another level once she brought her vocals into the track, and I’m so happy with how this turned out. Hope you enjoy the track as much as Rita and I had making it.” – Gryffin

“Working on this song with Gryffin has been such a dream!! We both have a shared love of EDM and dance music, and I’m so grateful he asked me to sing on this banger of a track. Get ready to dance!” – Rita Ora

‘LAST OF US’ is the first chapter into Gryffin’s forthcoming album. Inspired by the progressive sounds of his 2000s roots, PULSE harnesses the uplifting energy and interpersonal spirit that first sparked his love of dance music. Set to arrive later this year, the album embraces the unity and emotional connectivity that is universal no matter the dance floor.

Japanese-American producer, instrumentalist, songwriter, and DJ Dan Griffith has built a breathtaking catalog of melodic, lyrically-led dance originals and remixes as Gryffin. His platinum and gold-certified discography features collaborations with crossover acts like OneRepublic, Tinashe, MØ, Carly Rae Jepsen, and Aloe Blacc, as well as electronic contemporaries including Kygo, Gorgon City, and Seven Lions. In 2019, Gryffin released his stunning debut Gravity, with his sophomore album Alive following in 2022. This year, Gryffin will launch into his PULSE era, and bring the album to life with performances at renowned electronic festivals like Ultra and the return of his Wynn Nightlife residency in Las Vegas.

Rita Ora is an international critically acclaimed singer-songwriter with over 10 billion streams, four #1 UK singles and 13 Top 10 UK singles. She was among the first to receive a BRIT Billion award after surpassing the landmark of one billion career UK streams. Rita’s latest album, You & I landed the coveted #1 spot on the UK Official Independent Albums Chart and was the highest new entry from a female act in the UK Official Albums Chart, debuting at #6. The album features the #1 US Dance Radio hit ‘Praising You (feat. Fatboy Slim)’.
