Today, Montreal’s multi-hyphenate trance prodigy TDJ announces her official debut album, a self-actualizing, self-titled project set for release on June 27 on Collection Disque Durs / All Night Long. The announcement arrives alongside a new single, “Where Is My Angel,” a slow burn of hypermodern trance that imagines the genre clearly in the world of indie pop, but punctuated by jolts of tummy-tingling butterflies.
Grappling with the need to ground herself amid constant motion, the new track captures the disorienting mix of distance and lucidity that defines life on the road. “I needed to feel some kind of clarity out of this unpredictable life path I was embracing,” TDJ reflects on her rewarding yet taxing touring schedule. That tension is audible in the song’s crystalline production and aching topline — “I’m drifting through the night / Searching for a sign / Can’t hold on to shadows / Or the past left behind” — a bittersweet plea wrapped in high-gloss synths and sky-high emotion. TDJ wrote, produced, and performed the track herself, as she does with the entire forthcoming album.

Written between flights and club sets, TDJ (the album) isn’t a concept record. It’s a project that unfolded in motion, built on instinct and adrenaline. The result is a body of work engineered for release: for cracked hearts, cloudy heads, and anyone chasing a jolt of feeling in a numb era. “I felt the need to slow down and really take the time to work on this one,” she explains. With features that include hyperpop masterminds Danny L Harle, Hannah Diamond, and the album is poppier and more intimate, with slower tempos that give the songs room to breathe, marking a fresh direction while staying true to TDJ’s emotional core.
From touring the globe on her SPF INFINI tour to lighting up EDC Las Vegas, TDJ moves effortlessly between underground credibility and full-throttle rave euphoria — two worlds she bridges with a sound that’s as emotional as it is explosive. Her critically acclaimed, narrative-driven a/v project SPF INFINI was lauded by Pitchfork as an “epic setpiece.”
