Today, Grammy award winning icon, Tiësto, and super producer, Oliver Heldens, released their highly anticipated hit new single ‘The Right Song’ ft. Natalie La Rose.
The track, the result of the phenomenal success of the instrumental version which came out last year, is now available to stream via Spotify.
The video plays upon the transformative/escapist qualities of music, as a downtrodden office cleaner is overcome by dance and lets her imagination run free. The viewer is spirited away to this world which was created by the famed directing collective, Shynola. Known for their work with everyone from Coldplay to Radiohead, Beck, Blur, Queens of the Stone Age and more, Shynola tapped into the weird and wonderful dance sequences in such films as Footloose and The Coen brothers’ 1998 classic, The Big Lebowski, to create the magical world of the cleaner. Here vacuums become animated and tables become stages as she deals with the aftermath of a wild office party whilst listening to ‘The Right Song’.
The videos fun and energetic sequences are the perfect complement to the single. Tiësto, Heldens and La Rose, have created a purring explosive club anthem with this new track which features Tiësto’s signature euphoric melodies and Heldens’ darker, futuristic bass tones. The addition of La Rose, the powerhouse vocalist whose single, “Somebody,” featuring Jeremih was one of 2015’s biggest hits, adds an additional layer of complexity. Her vocals fit perfectly with Tiësto and Heldens’ production, bringing the song to new heights and creating an immediately infections hook.
DubVision stand out from their peers in the realm of house by creating music that embodies emotion. The duo has switched gears toward a more electro house sound with their new track “Sweet Harmony” released via Tiësto’s highly regarded label Musical Freedom.
The track begins slowly with a series of chords that lead to a heavy drop consisting of hard-hitting bass and infectious vocals with up-tempo beats. Throughout the track, the melancholic yet cheerful chord progression gives the track soul.
Hailing from the Netherlands, Dutch brothers Victor and Stephen Leichen are fast conquering the world of dance music as the dynamic duo DubVision. They are as known for their energetic tunes drenched with emotion, as they are for their uplifting melodies and big beats. With a style varying from progressive tech-house to sweet house tunes, the pair cover a wide range of genres. The duo's first release “All By Myself” on Spinnin’ created a huge buzz in electronic music. The track was featured on Pete Tong’s Essential Selection, Tiësto’s Clublife, David Guetta’s F*ck Me I’m Famous and Afrojack and Bobby Burns’ Jacked. Once the track was released, it hit #8 on the Progressive House Chart on Beatport and #25 overall. DubVision are true stars on the rise, remember the name because you’ll be hearing it a lot in 2016.
