Multi-platinum, BRIT-nominated producer D.O.D returns today with ‘I’ll Be There’, a euphoric new collaboration with vocalist Aye Anne, released via Armada Music. The track offers the latest glimpse into D.O.D’s world ahead of his long-awaited debut album, Everything, Briefly, due for release on 16th October.
Built around the uplifting house sound that has come to define D.O.D‘s productions, ‘I’ll Be There’ pairs warm, emotive production with Aye Anne’s soaring vocal, channeling themes of connection that run throughout his forthcoming album – it’s a record designed for the dancefloor and the heart in equal measure.
The single follows a landmark few months for D.O.D, who recently announced his 11-track debut album Everything, Briefly, timed to coincide with his debut performance on the Tomorrowland Belgium Mainstage – one of the most coveted slots in the global festival calendar.
Speaking about the album, of which ‘I’ll Be There’ offers the latest preview, D.O.D said:
“I’ve always tried to create music that makes you feel something. Music that brings you back – to a person, or a place, or a time in your life. Music you love, because there’s memory woven through. These are more than just songs. They’re the soundtrack to our lives.”
‘I’ll Be There’ arrives on the back of a remarkable run of career-defining successes for D.O.D. A multi-platinum producer with more than 1.5 billion streams worldwide, he has become one of dance music’s most consistent global success stories: three UK Official Singles Chart hits, BRIT and ARIA Award nominations for ‘Somedays’ alongside Sonny Fodera and Jazzy, a No. 1 on Billboard’s Dance Airplay chart with ‘Wrap Yourself Around Me’ featuring NORTH, and a chart-topping run on Australian radio and the ARIA Singles Chart with ‘Think About Us’ alongside Sonny Fodera and Poppy Baskcomb.
His most recent single, ‘Closure’ with Hayley May, has already generated more than one billion combined views across TikTok, Instagram and YouTube Shorts. Away from the studio, D.O.D has established himself as one of the UK’s biggest electronic music exports, regularly selling more than 5,000 tickets for headline US shows while delivering sold-out tours across the UK and Australia. His global success has also earned him a place in DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs, cementing his reputation as one of the defining artists of modern dance music.
With ‘I’ll Be There‘ out now and Everything, Briefly landing on 16th October, D.O.D shows no signs of slowing down as he heads into the biggest release of his career so far.
