Alive (Gryffin album)
Alive is the sophomore studio album by American record producer and musician Gryffin. The album was released through Darkroom and Geffen Records on November 4, 2022, serving as the follow-up to his debut album Gravity (2019). Background 
Regarding the album and its predecessor Gravity, Gryffin told BuzzFeed on a video call: "Gravity was more environmentally themed and spacey. I wanted it to be about taking you to these worlds and places, this elevated gravity-type world. For Alive, I wanted it to be a little more human-focused—focused on the emotions that we go through as human beings whether it's joy, happiness, sadness, or dealing with loss, the gamut of emotions that humans go through and makes us feel alive. I wanted to give more of an organic, human-type feel to this album rather than the space vibes of Gravity." Consisting of a total of 17 tracks, the album features 11 previously released singles from 2020 to 2022. Much of the album was made during the COVID-19 pandemic when touring opportunities were limited. According to Gryffin, Alive is his most diverse body of work in which he explored a variety of styles and sub-genres of dance music. Promotion
