The Swedish trio are back and after some epic performances across Europe of the Summer festival period, none more epic than their set at Tomorrowland. The latest offering from them which has featured on their set lists as this one "Wait So Long" even though was released in June has still been doing incredibly well across the globe. It's definitely a certified banger and one we will be hearing more frequently.
It's been out for just two weeks but already racked up over 2.1 million views and even more streams across the various platforms. Calvin Harris is the king of Ibiza and this track just echoes his rankings as on of the best DJ's in the world. The song dropped just in time for the opening of the Ibiza and European summer in general but you walking the streets of the party island, you will be hearing this track a lot. Blessings, contains vocals from Clementine Douglas and combine that with the melodic beats and addictive bass line, you've got a summer anthem. There was some drama with a DJ accusing Calvin of stealing his sample but Calvin shut that down very quickly. The man is a maestro, there is no need for him to steal anything.
The Swedish trio broke many hearts when they announced they were breaking up back in 2013, even though there were many reasons for their parting I think the time apart did them some good for when they eventually got back together in 2018. Yes, the genre had changed massively in those 5 years but with each of them concentrating on their solo projects and Axwell and Ingrosso also doing their duo stints are festivals, the come back was bigger than the set back as they say. Today's featured song goes to prove that. The trio always had a knack of attracting a-list talent for their tracks, from Tinnie Tempah to Pharell, all those tracks were instant hits and with "Finally", a song appropriately named as it took almost 2 years to make, featuring the vocals of Grammy winning singer Alicia, the track is fresh but has that distinct SHM feel to it. With the background featuring a strong piano which leads into house beats and a variety of synths which all builds up to the bassline drop, along with the chorus of the track just gives you that Ibiza feel to it.
There are some musical collaborations that are just meant to happen, because when those two artist combine their talents they make something special. I can name quite a few but one of my all time favourites is Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding, they showcased what a power they could produce together first with "I need your love" back in 2013, then they joined forces again in 2017 for "Outside" which again, blew up the charts. In March last year they released "Miracle" which turned into a banger of note for Calvin's Ibiza residency with a number of DJ's doing remixes of the track. Last week, Calvin and Ellie dropped their latest work, "Free" and while this one takes a slightly different approach, with its mellow start and Ellie'e soulful vocals which leads into a strong piano to the build up of the techno-pop sounds we're so used to from Calvin. The beat is suddenly kicked in and the track follows a high tempo but Ellie's vocals still seemed level as from the start and it works so beautifully. Definitely another great track from the UK duo and we hope there is more in the pipeline from them.
Fisher just dropped his second track that made waves from Coachella earlier this year, Atmosphere featuring Australian vocalist Kita Alexander was another hit ID that everyone talking and trending on social media. It's a bit different from "Take If Off" which dropped last month, where that one was a more vibey energetic track with a hard bass line and catchy lyrics while Atmosphere brings a fusion of two spectrum's with Fishers energetic and rhythmic production style and soaring vocals from Kita, its a brilliant collaboration where the euphoric sounds mate well with the melodic vocals that extend to the drop which is exhilarating in its delivery. It's everything we expect from the ever enthusiastic Fisher and something we don't which is what makes this track so so good. We hope you like it as much as we do so turn it up and enjoy!
He isn't the worlds highest paid DJ for nothing, everything track he releases has already gained so much traction on social media that by the time it's released, it already shoots to the top of the streaming charts. Who am I talking about? None other than British DJ Calvin Harris, following on the success of his last release "Miracle" with Ellie Goulding, Calvin teams up with another fellow Brit, Sam Smith this track titled "Desire". Calvin first played it at his set in Ushuaia in Ibiza and its been all over TikTok since. The unmistakable vocals of Sam Smith dominates the melody and it adds that distinctive difference that makes the track whole. It's another chart topper for sure from Calvin and one that will do well for the end of the European Summer. I can't wait to hear the remixes from this track which I'm sure there will be many.
