APOLLO arrived in Times Square

New York City, New York Jul 11, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - Elia Berthoud Premieres Mythology-Infused Debut APOLLO with Intimate Industry Dinner in Times Square

Rising indie-pop and alternative artist Elia Berthoud celebrated the release of his debut album APOLLO with a curated dinner in the heart of Times Square. Held at the acclaimed Indian restaurant Dilli Dilli, the evening brought together a vibrant mix of creatives, tastemakers, and music industry insiders to mark the launch of one of 2025s most intriguing concept albums.

Guests included choreographer Brice D. Vick, acclaimed flutist and producer Anne Drummond, serial entrepreneur Sourabh Sharma of Print All Over Me, Global Glam founder and editor in chief Christine Philip, fashion designer Jieun Kim. Also present were Chris and Jena Min, co-founders of the luxury CBD beauty brand Verböden X, alongside fashion insiders like model Kirill Kabachenko.

Named after the Greek god of music and light, APOLLO explores modern love and identity through a mythological lens - combining introspective lyrics with danceable beats. Entirely self-written, produced, and recorded by Berthoud, the 10-track album was mixed and mastered by Grammy-winning engineer

Jim Caruana (Beyoncé, American Gangster).

The event venue, Dilli Dilli - hailed as one of 2025s hottest openings by The New York Times, Forbes, and The Infatuation - was personally chosen by Elia for its elevated yet welcoming energy. Guests enjoyed a curated tasting menu and cocktails by award-winning mixologist Jeremy LeBlanche, while tracks from APOLLO set the tone for the night. Their Butter Chicken is honestly the best Ive ever had - anywhere in the world, said Berthoud.

Wearing a custom Geo Shirt by Asher Levine under a vintage Moschino blazer, Elia also surprised guests by revealing the first official remix from APOLLO: a reinterpretation of his single Come When Youre Ready by iconic Swedish DJ StoneBridge, best known for his remix of Show Me Love by Robin S. The remix will be released on July 25.

With APOLLO now streaming worldwide, Elia Berthoud invites listeners into a layered world where storytelling, sound, and symbolism collide. An album that dances between ancient myths and contemporary emotion, with cutting edge beats.
