Dan Whitlam - Strangers (Again) (Album)

With the release of Strangers (Again), Dan Whitlam firmly steps into his own. The London born artist’s debut album is a deeply personal body of work that distils fifteen years of lived experience into something quietly powerful and profoundly human. It is an album about growing up, falling apart, and learning how to begin again.

Led by focus single Wait For You, featuring the luminous SAPPHIRE, the record leans into patience, emotional honesty, and connection. Whitlam’s close, conversational delivery is met with spacious, soulful production, setting the emotional tone for a project rooted in vulnerability, resilience, and growth. Across the album, moments of real hardship including the loss of his mother and surviving a knife attack at sixteen are transformed into songs that feel intimate yet universally connective.

Following standout shows across the UK, Europe and the US including a landmark night at London’s Roundhouse with Raphaella, Whitlam continues to captivate audiences with a live presence that blurs the lines between poetry, soul and contemporary electronic music. Collaborations with Raphaella, Tamzene, Jordan Mackampa and SAPPHIRE add further texture, while forward thinking production underpins the album’s emotional core.

Already backed by BBC 6Music and praised by the likes of Fred Again… and Arlo Parks, Whitlam’s rise feels organic, earned, and quietly undeniable. Strangers (Again) does not chase moments. It sits with them, honours them, and invites the listener to do the same.
