When ZHU isn’t busy playing an unprecedented sold-out, six-night run Red Rocks Amphitheatre, he’s usually hard t work in the studio. The Grammy-nominated producer has just teamed up with acclaimed singer/songwriter and producer John The Blind on the new single “Monster,” out now on Astralwerks. A stunning departure from ZHU’s dusky signature sound, the track is a sparkling, straight-up celebration of unconditional love.

“I fell in love when you recognized my darkness/Made friends with all my monsters/And you still wanna stay, still wanna stay,” sings John The Blind, who takes the lead on vocals, with harmonies and a soulful falsetto closing from ZHU. The two artists produced and performed the track together, with ZHU on bass and John on guitar. 

“I wanted to create a summer anthem for the kids who are finally able to go out.”

– ZHU

John The Blind – who is also known as John Ryan – released isolation, his first full-length album, earlier this year. His vocals have been heard on tracks by Pitbull, Brass Knuckles, and DJ Snake. A multi-platinum songwriter and producer, he is also known for his work with One Direction, Maroon 5, John Legend, and others.
