Todrick Hall Shares New Single Prince Inspired Ballad ‘Breath’
Share
Powerhouse entertainer Todrick Hall has released ‘”Breath” – a soulful ballad taken from his forthcoming 80s inspired album Algorhythm.
Inspired by Prince’s ‘Purple Rain’, the skyscraper ballad delivers Todrick’s most spine-tingling and emotional vocal performance yet, over stadium-sized rock drums and dueling electric guitars. Co-written by Todrick with producer Jeeve (who has worked with Giorgio Moroder and Nicole Scherzinger), ‘Breath’ is about an undying love in a toxic relationship.
Todrick:
“‘Breath’ is the most transparent and vulnerable I have ever been as a songwriter. Sometimes ‘the one that got away’ is someone who didn’t always bring out the best in you but also made you love like you didn’t know you could. That’s what this song is about. This is my favorite song I have ever written and sang, inspired by my favourite R&B ballads of the 80s.”
“Breath” – along with “Dance Foreve”’ and “Pre-Madonna” – is taken from Todrick’s forthcoming album Algorhythm which will be released on June 1 via Frtyfve/AWAL.

Speaking of the album’s direction, Todrick said:
“Algorhythm is an 80s inspired record that while still being on brand with my most popular work, it reveals a side of my voice I have never accessed in my previous music. I want this album to get back to good traditional music, no gimmicks, no smoke and mirrors, just great music, beats and rhythms. My goal is not to create a replica of 80s music but an evolution of my music infused with 80s nostalgic instrumentation.”
