Martin Garrix sets March 2027 release for MARTY album

Martin Garrix announced during an Amsterdam Dance Event set for Spotify listeners that his album MARTY is due March 5, 2027. The 14-track record marks a shift toward pop-dance songs and features Garrix singing solo, according to his interview with Rolling Stone.

EDM House Network reported that Garrix revealed the date at the end of the set, where he also previewed unreleased music. Rolling Stone said the album will be released through Interscope Records and Garrix’s label, STMPD RCRDS.

Why Garrix calls MARTY his first pop-dance album

The name MARTY comes from Garrix’s early DJ alias. He told Rolling Stone that the songs represent chapters of his life, with an arc extending from his birth through the afterlife and rebirth. The lead single, ‘Catharina,’ is about his mother.

Who appears on MARTY

The collaborators confirmed to Rolling Stone include Madonna on ‘Bizarre,’ U2 on ‘Fireflies,’ Ed Sheeran on ‘Rewind Repeat It’ and AITANA on an untitled Spanish-language song. Garrix told the magazine that working with the featured artists felt ‘very surreal.’ More collaborators are due to be announced, and the full tracklist has not been released.

Garrix sings solo on four tracks, Rolling Stone reported. Two of them, ‘Catharina’ and ‘This Dream Of You,’ have already been released. The vocal role places him more prominently in the songs than on records built around guest singers, while the Spotify set gave listeners a preview of further material from MARTY.

Garrix said singing was ‘very far out of my comfort zone.’ According to Rolling Stone, Bono heard early demos, coached him on vocal delivery and contributed to some lyrics. Garrix said the personal nature of the songs made singing them himself feel necessary.
