The vocals behind trance hits such as: Armin van Buuren’s ‘Shivers’, Ernesto vs. Bastian’s ‘Dark Side of The Moon’ and Rex Mundi’s ‘Nothing At All’ is back; this time releasing a solo album. Artists collaborating with her will be: Dash Berlin, Omnia & The Blizzard, Mike Shiver, Josh Gabriel, Julian Vincent.

The first single from this album is Closer featuring The Blizzard and Omnia, a video for this single will be out shortly according to Armada.  This track has already been featured on A State of Trance, and will be part of Armin van Buuren’s 2010 compilation (Disc 1 – On the Beach).

The album will be very vocal driven with a melodic, down tempo trance.

“My experience is that losing yourself in a song can actually bring you ‘Closer’ to yourself, as it awakens certain underlying emotions and, in a sense, at least that’s how I feel, sets you free for a while by relieving you of daily burdens. I hope my album will do the same for those who listen to it.”

Expect ‘Susan – Closer’ to be released on the 7th of May 2010.

Official news release: here.

This track is featured on Armin van Buuren’s latest A State of Trance compilation. Like the 2009 compilation this years also has two disc, one for the club and one for the beach. M6 – Days Of Wonder has a great vibe to it and I can picture myself enjoying a – couple – of drinks on the beach while relaxing to it. Enjoy.

Ernesto vs Bastian are back! The masterminds behind hits like Dark Side of the Moon, Unchained Melody are back this time with a heavy track. I tend to listen to more euphoric tracks, but the heavy bass and aggressive feel of this track succeeds at sending chills down your back. Great pump up track, high way track. (This track was also featured on Armin van Buuren’s A State of Trance)

This week’s track was featured on Armin’s A State of Trance many episodes ago, this artist just proves how deep the talent pool is at Armada. Ohmna teams up with Nurlaila for this week’s favourite. Enjoy!

After hearing this track – I believe – during A State of Trance 400, it has been with me since. This track is no other than Ashley Wallbridge and Andy Moor feat. Meighan Nealon – Faces. Meighan has a very soft voice, and different sound than most vocal trance singers. I thoroughly enjoy this track, enjoy.

I was listening to some songs on my laptop the other day, and I am surprised that no DJ has had the opportunity to mix a song with Enya. When I listen to a track like Feel the Sun Rise – Banyan Tree from Tiësto’s In Search of Sunrise, Vol. 7: Asia I get goosebumps, and when I listen to an Enya song – like Caribbean Blue – I fall in a dreamworld. I can hear her lovely, mystical voice complement any song, if properly done. I do remember Armin van Buuren mentioning that he would want to produce a track with her when he was promoting his album 76, but nothing has materialized on this front. I’ll continue crossing my fingers for this syngery of two of my favourite artists.

Make it happen Armin!

I’m going to have to go with Lost by Sunlounger. Being the Tune of the Week on A State of Trance, and hearing the crowd sing along during it’s play at the 400th episode it deserves this spot. It will continue to be remixed, played, and edited for years to come… I enjoy how Roger Shah manged to get so many different sounds envolved in this track, simply amazing.
