Gathering ten years of warming us with her voice, it’s the second artist album of Dutch songstress Susana that’s set to light souls from May 2012 on. ‘Brave’ is the long-awaited follow-up to ‘Closer’ and features more of her distinctive vocals, songwriting skills and lyrical feel. To give you an introduction on the world of ‘Brave’, we invite you to indulge yourself with 4 of its jewels.

From the enchantingly deep ‘Down To Nothing’ featuring Canadian producer Max Graham, to her remake of one of trance’s most beloved classics, ‘Home’, showing just how big her passion for the genre really is. Together with German producer Ronski Speed, she rides the powerful trancer of ‘Winter Song’, to slide back into prog-trance with a housy vibe on Snatt & Vix collab ‘Blinded By The Lie’ .  Each song will lure you in, deeper and deeper into the versatile sound of Susana.

Dimitri Kechagias review: One of the best EDM singers returns with her brand new album. Susana's album Brave is already out and is the perfect excuse to press play and organise the first summer party with the Brave sounds of Susana. Once again like in the previous album she collaborates with various artists for each track and as you can imagine we deal with an album that includes wide variety of sounds and influences all connected with the angelic and very unique voice of Susana. Armada for the djs out there presents samplers with the club editions of the tracks of an album that is destined to touch you really deep and make you feel the beauty of the beats when combined with heaven sent melodies and the heartfelt performance of Susana. First of all is her collaboration with the very creative and super busy dj and producer Ronski Speed for Winter Song. Powerful progressive trance beats with electro and tech twist with the strong and very exceptional performance of Susana.  The strongest part of the track is the huge rave like synthy in the breakdown that will drive any clubber wild and you can imagine everybody jumping and having good time. Peak time club anthem with great lyrics and vocals to fell in love with them. Susana collaborates with Snatt & Vix for the very strong club banger  Blinded By The Lie. Solid pumping rocking beats, tight basslines and distorted like rave style synthy in the breakdown leads the track in its climax. Stand out element is Susana that once again sounds so fragile, melancholic but so dynamic as well offering hope and courage to anyone that has passed through similar situations. Susana and Max Graham collaboration  Down To Nothing is next and the single is out now on Re*Brand with additional remix. Quality from the start to finish by the hands of the talented Max Graham with groovy progressive trance beats and warm piano melody plus great hi-nrg synths in the main part to bring the finest climax in it. Last but not least Susana & Dark Matters worked together to recreate the trance classic Home. Daniel Kandi adds his Retrofit Remix that is simply magical. Uplifting vocal trance in its classic sense written by the book perfect to use as peak time cracker in your set. Its already part of Armin's Universal Religion compilation too. 4 great tracks to make you feel Brave and enlightened on the dancefloor. Love IT!
