The new collaboration comes as Gryffin announces his forthcoming third studio album, PULSE, due out later this year.
It has come time for dance music maverick Gryffin’s latest single release – and this time he’s teamed up with internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter Rita Ora. The unveiling of his new single, “LAST OF US,” marks the beginning of the new era for Gryffin whose third studio album PULSE is set for release later this year through Virgin Music.
PULSE, the third full-length LP from Gryffin, follows his stunning 2019 debut Gravity, as well as his sophomore album Alive, which was released in 2022. To coincide with the start of his PULSE era, Gryffin embarks on performances at Ultra Music Festival in Miami this March as well as a Wynn Nightlife residency at Wynn Las Vegas.
Gryffin is a Japanese-American DJ, producer, songwriter, instrumentalist, and artist – born Dan Griffith – has built a breathtaking catalog of melodic, lyrically-led dance originals and remixes. 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.
“‘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” encapsulates Gryffin’s anthemic, signature sound which have aided in securing his status as one of electronic dance music’s most sought-after acts. 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.
