Martin Garrix to release his first pop album in March featuring his own vocals
Martin Garrix will release his debut pop-infused album, Marty, in March, featuring fourteen tracks where he performs lead vocals himself. The project was developed over a decade with mentorship from U2's Bono and includes collaborations with artists like Aitana and Ed Sheeran.
Dutch DJ Martin Garrix has announced the release of his first pop-focused album, titled Marty, scheduled for March. The upcoming record features fourteen tracks that blend dance music with pop influences and marks a significant milestone as it features Garrix providing his own lead vocals. He spent over a decade curating the project, ultimately selecting the final tracklist from a collection of four hundred demos. The album title serves as a tribute to his early career, referencing his original stage name, DJ Marty.
The project includes various high-profile collaborations, featuring artists such as Aitana and Ed Sheeran. Furthermore, U2 frontman Bono played a vital role in the production, acting as a mentor to help Garrix refine his vocal techniques and emotional delivery. Garrix, who recently performed during the Amsterdam Dance Event at AFAS Live, noted that his transition to lead vocals evolved naturally from his habit of recording his own demos on the guitar. Additional contributors and future collaborations are expected to be unveiled soon.
