Verses GT — the duo of Jacques Greene + Nosaj Thing — announce their self-titled debut album, out September 12th via LUCKYME® and release the new single, “Your Light” (ft. George Riley). Verses GT is the project, the group, the album, the live show, and the moving image—an all encompassing banner for a new collaborative world. Following surprise singles “Too Close” (ft. Ouri) in 2023, “RB3” in 2024 and “Unknown” in 2025, Verses GT is a heavyweight and tangible record that expresses a bold and elegant vision reflecting both lived-in and lived-through modern times.

"It’s been inspiring to trust our instincts and go for it. It feels even more meaningful doing this now, after each of us has put out a few solo records," says Jason Chung (Nosaj Thing). "I feel like trust is the key word and concept around this project, this is a 50/50 relationship and the give-and-take that comes with it," Philippe Aubin-Dionne (Jacques Greene) adds.

There's a hazy, meditative weight to Verses GT, not in an overtly emotional way, but as the result of intention and purpose. The album is coupled with an understated confidence to strip things back and cause a slow down in our everyday—an internal and external move that exists if we want it to. "Can we reduce the outlets and distill it down to its purest essence?" asks Phillipe, of their songwriting approach that sparks and insinuates throughout the album. "This is it. It's really betting on headspace and a feeling of being locked in."

The intrinsic duality of Verses GT means the album also surges with the energy of empathetic, connected body-music. This is exemplified on today’s single, “Your Light,” on which a hard-edged intimacy is celebrated alongside UK-based progressive R&B artist George Riley.

The majority of Verses GT was created in person in London, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Paris, and in Montreal at Phillipe’s studio, rather than virtually. “It's based on human relationships," Phillipe explains. In addition to George Riley, the album includes features from Kučka and TYSON and a collaborative art-working team of photographer-director Xavier Tera, creative director-writer Terence Teh, and artist-designer Erin D. Garcia. Together, they have created a project that is a globally-spanning, call-and-response mantra. Verses GT is a singular yet wide-reaching dialogue between the duo, each prospective listener, and a shared, collective experience of making something real, together.

Last month, Verses GT announced an expansive global tour, with dates taking place across Europe, North and Central America and Asia this autumn. Having debuted their live set at MUTEK Montreal in 2024, as well as touring extensively as a DJ duo over the last couple of years, the pair’s live show marks a new chapter in their deepening creative relationship. Kicking off Thursday, Sept. 18 in Phillippe’s hometown of Montreal, the duo’s North American leg will see them headlining shows at New York’s Webster Hall, San Francisco’s Great American Music Hall, Los Angeles’ El Rey Theatre, Miami’s III Points Festival, and beyond before heading to Europe and Japan.
