GRIFF RELEASES DEBUT ALBUM VERTIGO

Griff has released her debut album, vertigo, which is available now on Warner Music. The British pop star’s landmark project lands alongside a visualiser for ‘Tears For Fun’, with Griff recently sharing new single ‘Anything’ and opening for Taylor Swift at her iconic Eras tour. Griff is set for a whirlwind run of in-store events launching vertigo this week, having also been invited to tour around the US later this year by Sabrina Carpenter: her vertigo world tour continues this summer, with dates across Australia, America, Europe and the UK already announced, including a London show at Alexandra Palace on November 13th.

vertigo confirms Griff as the next great British pop star. Moving through the cycles of melancholy, disorientation, euphoria and self-discovery, it’s a Coming of Age journey that Griff has taken fans on ever since she broke through over the pandemic. With a 360-approach on everything from production, fashion and design to the spiral motif long connecting vertigo in plain sight – right down to her signature hairstyle – Griff’s debut album turns the tumultuousness of young adulthood into a vibrant source of power.

Such moments of catharsis are evident on focus track ‘Tears For Fun’, a contemplation on the future, faith and whether things will turn out OK in the end, as promised. Its existential angst is set to the kind of anthemic and ultimately uplifting songwriting that is weaved throughout vertigo: from the euphoric ‘Anything’ – the lengths young love will take you to – to ‘Miss Me Too’ (about the little-discussed irony of growing more confused, as you purportedly grow older and wiser). Yet giving such feelings a clear voice has proved to be Griff’s turning point: the album’s roller-coaster title track literally names that upside-down sensation in your stomach (vertigo) and with it, the emotional breakthrough needed to discuss such experiences openly.

What emerges from vertigo is the importance of perspective, its spiral-motif less an unravelling than a hopeful symbol of eternal renewal, with infinite opportunities for change. And as she joins the likes of Taylor and Sabrina on the road – not to mention her own huge run of shows – Griff is now set to share her stories of generational vertigo with more people than ever before. Chronicling those first loves, losses, disasters and triumphs, vertigo is a life-affirming pop record whose inner spiral sparks Griff’s ascent.
