Songwriter, DJ and vocalist supreme Aruna is back in full force with her next solo single, "Reason To Believe." The LA-based artist will make her Enhanced Music debut on August 19 and already "Reason To Believe" is shaping up to be one of summer's most memorable vocal smashes, with premieres on A State of Trance #623 and Group Therapy with Above & Beyond #037.
"I wanted to step outside of the box and create new lyrical patterns and melodies that I hadn't employed before," says Aruna. "That's why I co-wrote this track with someone new to EDM."
She partnered with fellow Los Angeles musician, David Bowick of the band Alder, and says that working with someone outside of the tight-knit dance music scene brought a fresh perspective to her songwriting. The lyrics speak of spiraling downwards after loss and heartbreak but Aruna's vocals convey innocence and hope. Producer and composer Steve Kaetzel brought a score of sparkling piano melodies, wobbling, glitchy bass and soothing trance chimes wrapped with intricate vocal editing to make the track fit for at-home, easy listening or havoc-wreaking on the dance floor.
Although "Reason To Believe" will get an individual release on August 19, it's also one of the 25 exclusive tracks on the upcoming Digitally Enhanced Volume 6 compilation mixed by Enhanced Music label boss, Will Holland. Out August 6, Digitally Enhanced is a 2-mix plethora of trance and progressive from the likes of Tritonal, Estiva, Juventa, Daniel Kandi, 7 Skies and more. Limited edition signed CD pre-order is available now from www.enhancedmusic.com.
Dimitri Kechagias review: The beloved singer in the trance music microworld Aruna strikes back on a different label from her previous releases. Now she pops up at Enhanced Music with his magnificent proglifting trancer Reason To Believe that is beautifully produced by Steve Kaetzel who never fails to impress me with his superb feel for nice sounds and right and correct production that is balanced in order to allow the singer to stand out and shine and the strong backing track to elevate the strength of her voice even more. Reason To Believe has great lyrics with message and meaning so when you hear them instantly you feel enlightened and inspired to see what you can do in your life and maybe change or rearrange it. The track itself is really dynamic and danceable and it make you scream, shout and sing a long on the dancefloor. Vocal trance at its highest quality. Love iT
