The powerful closing track from Aly & Fila’s third studio album, ‘The Other Shore’, ‘Shine’ will melt the hearts of even the most hardened person.
With lush piano, decadent instrumentation and a slow but powerful breakbeat, this is a completely different side of Aly & Fila than you might be used to, but there’s no doubt that it works wonders with Roxanne Emery’s voice leading the way.
Dimitri Kechagias review: One of the highlights of the latest Armin van Buuren compilation is the collaboration of Aly & Fila with the beloved singer Roxanne Emery for the uplifting vocal trance smasher Shine that is released now in its full 9 minutes version. Pounding drums, pulsating driving basslines and epic anthemic synths are the main ingredients of this straight to the point classic uplifting trancer. The breakdown is the moment that the orchestral classical music strings and the lonely piano support Roxanne's voice to Shine and stand out from the rest. Her performance has an interesting sadness and pain that make her sound truly fragile and emotional. The euphoric uplifting synths are coming to the surface and like fountains of joy offer the relief in the pain and heal the spring melancholy. The climax is euphoric and hands in the air as we loved it to be. Aly & Fila on this track manage to keep things well balanced and deliver a powerful emotional trance track that is truly underground and able to leave for eternity! #PureGold Love It
