Marshmello and Portugal. The Man connect on vibrant song “Phoenix”
GRAMMY® Award-nominated artist and producer Marshmello and indie-rock outfit Portugal. The Man have released a vibrant new single, “Phoenix,” through Broke Marshmello’s Joytime Collective and Broke Records.
Blending Marshmello’s melodic production with Portugal. The Man’s lyrical warmth, “Phoenix,” captures the spark of new love, and the feeling of renewal. Built on shimmering instrumentation and an undeniable groove, the track delivers an instant lift, anchored by the line: “There’s something in the air, I can feel it / Lovers coming back to life.”
“Growing up in Alaska as the son of dog mushers, music never felt like a reachable world, so there’s still a part of me that can’t believe I get to work with people I’ve looked up to—especially someone like Marshmello,” said PTM frontman John Gourley. “Working on ‘Phoenix’ with him was incredibly fun and easy, no ego, no overthinking—just chasing the feeling until it stuck. The song’s about that cycle—breaking down and coming back stronger—and I’m grateful for the trust and energy he brought into it.”
A GRAMMY-nominated artist, Marshmello has become one of the most influential producers in the world with over 16.8 billion Spotify streams and more than 68 million monthly listeners. Known for seamlessly crossing genres, he has collaborated with artists including Khalid, Halsey, Demi Lovato, and Selena Gomez, to name a few. More recently, Marshmello made history with his second collaboration with Kane Brown, “Miles On It,” which became the first song ever to debut at No. 1 on both the Dance/Electronic and Country charts.
Portugal. The Man have also built a career on constant reinvention, evolving from cult favorites into global hitmakers with the multi-platinum success of their 2017 hit “Feel It Still.” Their music blends psychedelic rock, soul, and experimental pop, paired with a strong creative ethos rooted in storytelling. In November 2025, the band released their fantastic 10th studio album SHISH, an embodiment of exploration, and the possibility of a new frontier being opened to imagination. SHISH featured hit singles “Denali” and “Tanana.”
“Phoenix is exactly the kind of record we built broke for,” said Andre Benz, Co-Founder & CEO of Broke Records. “It’s an honor to work alongside artists of this caliber, both of whom have shaped culture at the highest level. Coming from a background where we were early supporters of artists like Marshmello through Trap Nation, moments like this feel full circle. This is two world-class artists creating something that can resonate globally while still speaking directly to core audiences.”
