After the unprecedented success of crossover chart anthems "Red Lights" and "Wasted" Tiesto now is back with the third single from his critically acclaimed album "A Town Called Paradise". Meanwhile versed what the art of high-end relates to music production, it's a track that arises from a similar formula as it did the LP, which already counts two UK Top 10 hits, and therefore the two highest ever chart positions ever for Tiesto were brought forth.
Designed around the powerful, heartfelt vocals of DBX, "Light Years Away" delivers exactly the euphoric energy that the fans expect from Tiesto and still shows a tangible emotional depth that distinguishes his pieces currently. Delicate piano harmonies and exuberant melodies provide the perfect counterpart to DBXs voice, which is in the early stages of the song in the central foreground followed by the explosive bass and Tiesto typical dance and synth lines. Wonderfully balanced and chart focused dance Music is created.
With the two hits "Red Lights" and "Wasted", that already celebrated their peak at # 6 and # 3 in the UK Singles Chart. The new single "Light years Away "is now ready to continue the chart successes in similarly impressive fashion.
Dimitri Kechagias review: Tiesto is considered to be the first dj who manage to capitalise on his success and translate his domination of the dancefloors and festivals into mainstream chart success. Of course it took him a long way but success comes after hard work and focused productions like the ones included on his latest album A Town Called Paradise. The 3rd single coming out from the album that Tiesto announced in his interview at the last years ADE is the fantastic Light Years Away. Superb vocal with lyrics that stay in your mind for long and manages easily to crawl under your skin and become part of your musical DNA. The performance has that indie rock edge that seems to work perfectly with the fat banging grooves, heavy energetic basslines, uplifting euphoric synths and superb emotional breakdown with sweet piano and classical music strings. Cinematic dreamy atmosphere mesmerise the audience and the optimistic hands in the air synths will bring them closer to feel the beauty of being one on the dancefloor indifferent from race, gender and sexual preferences. Music will always unite us even many Light Years Away! Quality progressive house bomb that shines fr0m the first minute till the last. #PureGold Love iT
