Entitled Private Blizzard, the forthcoming LP was recorded in Nashville with Grammy-nominated producer JT Daly (Noah Kahan, Bully, Benson Boone). Set to be released on 23 August via Little Worry/RCA Records, this album will reflect the full range of emotions Dhruv felt as he embarked on this creative endavour.

“I started in a place of numbness, and I didn’t really understand why I felt that way,” Dhruv shares. “The songs that I started out with were trying to help me unpack that feeling. The further along I got, I started feeling better—I just felt lighter.”

This announcement also comes paired with of his latest single, 'Speed of Light', which follows up on previous album offerings such as 'How?' and 'Tragedy'.

As Dhruv explains, the new song "is about this ‘limbo state’ of being heartbroken over someone who clearly had no trouble moving on from the relationship."
