ZHU UNVEILS NEW SINGLE, “THRILL AGAIN” FEAT. UPSAHL
GRAMMY®-nominated artist ZHU shared “Thrill Again” feat. UPSAHL – the first single from his forthcoming album, GRACE, which will be released on March 15 via Astralwerks. The two distinctive vocalists reflect on where chasing thrills has taken them on the striking track, which ZHU produced. The song interpolates the iconic George Michael hit “Careless Whisper,” with UPSAHL singing, “I don’t ever want to dance again, till my body hurts, I wanna feel the thrill again…” Listen HERE.

“We have officially entered the era of GRACE,” said ZHU. “I am continuously exploring new sounds and I am excited to share ‘Thrill Again’ as the first single.”
Last night, ZHU celebrated the Lunar New Year and the release of “Thrill Again” with a special show at Gin Ling Way in Los Angeles’ Chinatown. UPSAHL made a surprise appearance to perform the new single with ZHU. He recorded most of GRACE in his hometown of San Francisco at historic Grace Cathedral. Available for pre-order HERE, GRACE also includes “Revelations” with Devault and BabyJake, “Changes” and “Take My Soul” with Devault.
ZHU will resume the GRACE tour this spring with a series of festival performances that includes Lollapalooza in Latin America and Creamfields Hong Kong. Further details are available HERE.
