‘Freedom’
‘Freedom’ featuring Sam Harper’s captivating vocals, became a must-listen at major festivals like Tomorrowland and EDC Las Vegas, this summer delivering the exhilarating sound fans crave. This track merges a vibrant dance-pop arrangement with the energy of a club anthem. It highlights the remarkable partnership of two longtime friends and electronic music legends in the studio.
Oliver Heldens infuses his signature bass-driven groove, creating a robust foundation and infectious energy that keeps listeners hooked. Renowned for seamlessly blending house and pop vibes, Heldens brings his melodic flair and funky rhythms to the forefront. In addition, Armin van Buuren’s influence is unmistakable, evident in the song’s anthemic build-ups and euphoric drops. His classic trance elements shine through in the atmospheric pads and emotional chord progressions. They add depth that resonates with uplifting and spacious feelings. Sam Harper’s stunning vocal performance captures hearts in the original track. And will continue to do so in the upcoming high-intensity “VIP Mix,” set to drop on November 21.
Armin shares his thoughts on the production of ‘Freedom’ –
I met up with Oliver, and we had an instant click in the studio, so much so that it resulted in not one but TWO tracks! The first one was released on HILOMATIK, and the second one is this vocal track about “situationships.” It’s the result of a writing session in Sweden with the wonderful Sam Harper, and Oliver and I finished the track together.
