Producer, DJ, singer, and songwriter Sam Gellaitry releases his long-awaited debut album, ANYWHERE HERE IS PERFECT. The release arrives alongside a new music video for the recent single, ‘ON&ON’.
The twelve-track project marks a defining moment for the creative maverick as he steps fully into his own, showcasing his sheer breadth of talent by producing, writing, and singing on the tracks. It blends the emotional depth of his lyricism with the kaleidoscopic sound design that has made him one of electronic music’s most forward-thinking voices.
The album’s expansive palette spans disco, funk, and pop-inspired electronic production, guided by Gellaitry’s synesthesia-informed approach to colour and sound. The result is a body of work that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant, fusing introspection with dance-floor-ready energy.
Reflecting on the album’s title, Sam likens ANYWHERE HERE IS PERFECT to the moment in a taxi ride when you say you’re ready to be dropped off; a metaphor for the end of a relationship. “You’ve started a journey with someone (who at one point was equally a stranger), and now you’ve announced you’re ready to stand on your own two feet, make your own moves, and follow your own path. The person has got you exactly where you need to be and was with you through an essential part of your life journey. If the road is there to resemble your destiny then make sure you know where you are going, as well as yourself.”
ANYWHERE HERE IS PERFECT follows a run of standout singles that introduced its world, including ‘START UP A RUMOUR’, ‘CURIOUS’ featuring Toro y Moi, ‘LOVE ON ME’, and the latest single ‘ON&ON’.
Across the album, Gellaitry builds on the experimental foundation he established through his Escapism and IV projects, both cornerstones in his evolution from a genre-blurring producer to a fully realised artist.
The release caps a breakout year for Gellaitry, following the viral resurgence of his 2021 single ‘Assumptions’, which climbed to over 500K daily streams and topped multiple global charts. Beyond music, he has expanded his creative footprint, appearing as the face of Stone Island’s Stellina Spring Summer Collection and performing sold-out headline shows in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York.
