ZHU’s ambitious new album, GRACE – the follow-up to the critically acclaimed Dreamland 2021 – will be released on January 19, 2024, via Astralwerks. The GRAMMY®-nominated artist recorded most of GRACE in his hometown of San Francisco at iconic Grace Cathedral.
On September 8th, ZHU shared his new single, “Take My Soul” with Devault – an epic, spine-tingling track the two artists wrote and produced with Griff Clawson (Sam Feldt) – plus three additional songs from the album: the hypnotic “Blind Believer,” which finds ZHU trading vocals with Reo Cragun and Rexx Life Raj, the beguiling “Devil’s Prescription” and the searing “Days Before Grace.” Listen to the new tracks HERE and watch the visuals HERE. The CD and vinyl edition of GRACE is available for pre-order HERE.
ZHU teamed up with Devault and BabyJake on “Revelations,” the album’s first single, which earned a spot on Rolling Stone’s list of “All The Songs You Need To Know This Week” upon its release in May. We Rave You noted, “The vocals are smooth and silky while offering a bit of mystery and intrigue with every line. The track itself is a haunting journey as well…” Praising follow-up single “Changes,” DJ Life Mag said, “There aren’t many artists quite like ZHU…His artistry shines through in everything he does – and everything he touches seemingly just works.” EDM.com observed, “ZHU’s work is stunning in ‘Changes,’ wherein he curates a dreamlike atmosphere to lament on his time in the spotlight.”
Due to the overwhelming demand for tickets, ZHU has added dates to the GRACE tour, including a stop in Spokane, WA (October 24) and additional nights in Boston, Chicago and Vancouver. The North American headline tour – his first in five years – will kick off on September 14 in Toronto and include three shows at Brooklyn Mirage in NYC. Produced by Live Nation, the outing will feature special guest Noizu in Brooklyn, Claptone at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO, Hayden James at the Los Angeles dates, as well as Noizu on multiple select dates throughout the tour.
