Griff has announced the details of her debut album ‘Vertigo’ and has shared that this LP is “the full story”.
The Brits Rising star winner announced that ‘Vertigo’ is set for release on July 19 via Warner (pre-order / pre-save the album here). The LP will consist of 19 tracks including her recently released single ‘Miss Me Too’. To tease the tracklist, Griff shared a photo of herself in a massive white dress on her Instagram, with the song titles printed on the train of the garment. The dress was created by Central Saint Martins designer Eden Tan.
Speaking about the upcoming album in a press release, Griff said: “The album is about vertigo as an emotion and the dizziness and upside down feeling of heartache. I wanted to drop this project in parts from insular low feelings (Vol.1) to desperate euphoria (Vol.2) and with volume three, the full story.”

Speaking to NME for The Cover, Griff opened up about the imposter syndrome she has dealt with. “You usually start off doing very intimate gigs and then work your way up around the scene. And then, suddenly, I was in these big stadiums and arenas,” she said. “It’s such a weird industry on so many levels, that imposter syndrome follows you everywhere. No one gives you a manual as to how to be an artist.”
In other news, Griff previously teamed up with Coldplay’s Chris Martin’s for her emotive new song, ‘Astronaut’.
Griff supported Coldplay on their European stadium tour this year and in a statement, the musician explained how Martin asked her to play him some music she was in the process of writing while on tour. After hearing ‘Astronaut’, he offered to help her with the song.
