Danny L Harle Releases New Song “Raft In The Sea” featuring Julia Michaels
London-based music producer Danny L Harle joined forces with American singer-songwriter Julia Michaels to release a new song “Raft In The Sea” on January 14, 2026.
This marks the first collaboration between Danny L Harle and Julia Michaels.
The song is the fourth single off of his upcoming sophomore album “Cerulean”, which is set to be released on February 13, 2026 via XL Recordings.
It was written by Danny L Harle and Julia Michaels. Produced by Danny L Harle.
Danny L Harle said of the song, “I was incredibly honoured to work with Julia – she does not need to do anything for anyone. I initially met her during a Dua Lipa session, and my jaw literally dropped when I heard her sing this idea in the room. I heard something in her voice that I'd not heard in her own music. In a similar way to working with MNEK, I wanted to bring out the rawness and melancholy of her voice. When we were making this song, I asked her, 'Can you just be sad?' And she said, 'For you Danny, I will.'” Her performance is just incredible.”- Julia Michaels said, “I met Danny a couple years ago and became instant friends. When I came back to London to work with him, he asked me if I would be apart of his new record and I was so honored :) Danny is one of the best and most talented men. I love our song we made together.”
The new album comprises 13 tracks, featuring collaborations with PinkPantheress, Caroline Polachek, Julia Michaels, Dua Lipa, Oklou, MNEK, Clairo, and kacha.
It is his first solo album in five years, following the 2021 album “Harlecore”. -
Danny L Harle said of the album, “It was my chance to bring together all of my influences. Like I was classically trained composer. But I was also very drawn to dance music, but a specific kind of sad tradition of dance music, like the sort of 90s dance anthems I really liked, and sort of lot of Italian music as well, Italo dance music and lots of Hardcore Rave music. And took me a while to understand how to bring them all together into one project. And I'm very happy to say I've managed to do it. And I wouldn't even need to say that if you listen to it, you could just hear it.”
