Vertigo
"Invalid Item" Open in new Window. | Day 7
"Vertigo" by Griff

I can't remember if I've featured Griff on a previous Soundtrackers activity or not, but I've really grown to appreciate her music in the past year or so. She's got a great voice and I like the way the electronic beats complement her vocals. She's been really popular as an opening act on a number of popular tours, including for Dua Lipa, Ed Sheeran, and Coldplay. This song also got a huge boost in popularity when Taylor Swift promoted it on Instagram and said she loved the song. I actually also really like the alternative version  Open in new Window. that she recorded in Los Angeles.

She has two quotes that I really like. On the topic of why she chose the stage name "Griff" (as opposed to her birth name of Sarah Faith Griffiths), she is quoted as saying, "Sarah Griffiths isn't that glamorous. I sound like I have a mortgage and four kids." *Laugh* And, on the topic of growing up with evangelical Christian parents, she's quoted as saying "If you grow up with Christian parents, you get to a point where you ask yourself if you actually believe if you're just going through the motions. And from a young age I felt like it was something I actually do believe and so it’s always been something that I’ve owned." Which I think is really insightful from someone who's only in her early twenties.
