NME’s The Cover is a platform designed to support emerging artists and provide them with much-needed exposure. Each week, a new artist is featured on the cover of the magazine and is given the opportunity to share their story with NME’s readers. This week’s featured artist, Griff, discusses her new EP series ‘Vertigo’, her journey to supporting Dua Lipa, Ed Sheeran, and more on tour, and collaborating with Coldplay’s Chris Martin on ‘Astronaut’.
Griff describes working with Martin as an incredible experience. She said that he was so naturally talented that he played the song perfectly on his first attempt. Martin suggested that they strip the song back from its “synthy and dark” origins, resulting in a beautiful finished product that showcases Griff’s unique style.
In addition to discussing her work with Martin, Griff also talks about the emotional challenges she faced in her 20s and how those experiences influenced her music. She also shares her plans for an upcoming UK tour and hints at a possible debut album in the works. You can read the full story with Griff on NME’s website
