 Under Sunlounger – the most renowned of the Roger Shah pseudonyms, the German producer/composer presents the first single to be drawn from the ‘Balearic Beauty’ album. Featuring the transcendent vocals of Romanian songstress Alexandra Badoi, ‘I’ll Be Fine’ delivers the perfect summer 2013 summation.

 Ranged across four different versions and six mixes and edits, ‘I’ll Be Fine’ abounds with classic Sunlounger touches and moments. In its Album Mix form it shimmers with melodic lilt – driven by Roger’s coolly running beats & percussion lines, swimming with elegiac note arrangements and further intoxicated by Badoi’s vocal lament.

 The Roger Shah Rework of ‘I’ll Be Fine’ is the picture-perfect club-floor transfer. Rolling out deep bass and tougher edged distortion, it sets up a progressive-trance sound-storm. Cutting, looping and editing ‘I’ll Be Fine’s vocal parts, Shah effects a slow-burn release of the song - one that break-side fully erupts with striking impact.

 The Chillout Mix provides the essential cool-down Yang to Roger’s Rework fuller-force Yin. Counterbalancing with gradually drifting synths, beautifully crafted live instrumentation and stunning composition, it chills from its first aching note to its last.

 Radio Edits and Dubs are also included in the release making ‘I’ll Be Fine’ a Balearic-minded ‘postcard’ with all the elements necessary to see the season out in style. 



Dimitri Kechagias review: It was so much anticipated and it finally happens. Roger Shah presents his new Sunlounger album and the first single released from the album is the beautiful I'll Be Fine featuring the sweet and sexy voice by Alexandra Badoi. First version that is out now is the superb Roger Shah rework. On this particular remix Roger Shah combines his trademark Balearic trance sound with epic prog house influences and the result is an awesome club spanker that will be adored particularly from the ladies on the dancefloor. Alexandra voice is the perfect choice to add that emotional heartfelt edge upon the driving and shaking beats and basslines. The breakdown is very summery with balearic guitar riffs and warm strings. The climax is full on and hands in the air with the huge synthy lead pushing the track to the next higher level. Quality from the very start till the end. Excellent club and EDM festival oriented version. The package becomes even better with the addition of top notch versions. First of all the dub mix of Roger's rework is perfect if you wish to concentrate on the pumping beats and the balearic feel good melodies and the nice uplifting synths. The Original mix follows the classic Sunlounger style that is blissful, balearic trance that is relaxing, driving and very danceable at the same time. The Hispanic guitar riffs, the tribal drums, the claps are merged perfectly with the lovely ethnic instrument sound that brings to your mind Balkans and maybe Roumania as well. The chill-out remix is a blissful liquid like version to close your eyes and let the worries and problems go away by having in your mind sunny beaches and sexy bodies sunbathing. It has great potential for mainstream radio success. Highly recommended. Love IT
