New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The GRAMMY award-winning global superstar Zedd releases his brand-new single entitled "
Inside Out" featuring rising U.K. singer-songwriter, Griff. The upbeat, feel-good track, features Zedd's signature style that has made him the critically acclaimed artist/DJ/producer he is today. Paired with Griff's incredible vocals, "
Inside Out" is poised to be another one of Zedd's standout tracks. The song is available now at all digital retail providers via Interscope Records/ Universal Music.
Zedd says about "
Inside Out", "I started working on 'Inside Out' roughly a year and a half ago and I'm incredibly proud for it to finally see the light of day. We are in such a tense state of the world right now; I feel like this song can provide people with a much-needed sense of hope. I always strive to push myself to try new things, musically. With that in mind, this song feels very new but also familiar at the same time. A huge thank you to
Griff for bringing such an intense level of emotion to 'Inside Out' with her beautiful voice!!"
Griff also notes, "This song for me is about any relationship in your life that's worth holding onto, whether its platonic or romantic. I feel like these days everything is about how things look on the outside, and so the idea of loving someone from the inside first, feels like quite an important thing to say right now. It's so surreal for Zedd to want a new artist like me to sing on this track, and I'm just super grateful and excited to be involved in this."
In addition to the release of "Inside Out," Zedd will also be participating in The MDA

Griff is well on her way to becoming the next face of British Pop—and a next-generation type of pop star, at that. Born to Chinese and Jamaican parents just out of Watford, U.K.,
Griff began making music by borrowing her brother's logic: teaching herself how to produce songs secretly from her classmates (many of whom only found out what
Griff was up to when they heard her on
Annie Mac). Hailed by Vogue as a "multicultural, multi-hyphenated, and multi-talented…utterly unique teenager" and by NME who called her "A phenomenon…the teenage boss about to take charge of pop," Griff's musical creativity draws no boundaries. Aside from making her own beats, sewing her own clothes, and shooting a music video on her iPhone under lockdown, Griff's raw and vulnerable lyrics also prove she is mature beyond her years. With songs about friendship. ("1,000,000 X Better"), mental health ("Say It Again"), those stinging formative breakups ("Forgive Myself") and the importance of family ("Good Stuff," a moving account of Griff's family fostering children),
Griff manages to draw from her own difficult experiences and turn them into something uniformly positive making her particular model of bedroom-pop fitting for a legion of young girls to follow.
