Releasing a string of smash hits off his September 2014 debut album “Prayer” established Robin Schulz as one of the internationally most successful German artists of the past 20 years. Now, the Osnabrück-native, superstar DJ and producer is set to release his highly-anticipated follow-up longplayer: Almost exactly one year after the release of his globally acclaimed breakthrough debut, Schulz is back on track with yet another stroke of genius: Promisingly entitled “SUGAR”, album no. 2 will be released later this year on September 18th!
Earlier this July, Schulz was awarded Triple Gold for his tremendous hit single “Prayer in C”, Platinum for “Sun Goes Down (feat. Jasmine Thompson)” as well as Gold for his debut album “Prayer” in his home territory – just 3 on a list of over 60(!) awards already amassed by the German deep house shooting star. In light of his upcoming new longplayer “SUGAR”, Robin Schulz is now about to take the next step in his amazingly successful career:
After his airplay #1 and global smash single “Headlights” (feat. Ilsey) which delivered the first taste of his new album’s sound, the twentysomething is set to release the eponymous second single on July 17th: “Sugar”, featuring 19-year-old Canadian singer Francesco Yates. Yates is widely considered the next big popstar in the making and his soulful falsetto vocals are quickly gaining praise by superstars such as Pharrell Williams or Justin Bieber.
That being said, Schulz is more than likely to build on his peerless, record-breaking achievements of the past 18 months: Last year’s mega hit “Prayer in C” landed Robin Schulz the #1 spot on iTunes in 40 countries and topped the national singles charts in 17 countries, but that was just the beginning. His #1 remix of “Waves” earned him a Grammy nomination, while his Top 7 album “Prayer” received the German ECHO award for best “Dance National”, in addition to a completely sold-out US tour.
Today, Schulz remains the first German artist to attain the #1 spot in the global Shazam charts. He runs the most successful German YouTube music channel with a combined 330 million views, while generating downloads and streams in excess of nine figures.
On the heels of his recent tour of the U.S., Canada, South Africa and Australia, Robin Schulz will be headlining major electro & dance festivals all over the world throughout the summer, such as Belgium’s Tomorrowland Festival.
Dimitri Kechagias review: The long awaited new single of Robin Schulz is the magnificent Sugar featuring Franscesco Yates on vocal duties. The original version is a wonderful summery deep house anthem with memorable guitar riffs and excellent soulful vocal performance with certain USA colour in it. With rhythm and blues influences all over it, Sugar is an instant hit with great relaxing atmosphere and smooth grooves that will bring friends and enemies on the common dancefloor! HUGEL is the upcoming talent from France who knows how to deliver sounds with difference. His upfront Future House remix makes extensive application of the beloved guitar riff but his grooves and basslines are more futuristic with certain early 90's garage house hints on it. The atmosphere is superb particularly when the uplifting piano hooks are coming in. StadiumX transform the original into a full on progressive house experience with banging beats, aggressive raw in your face basslines and great deep house infused breakdown that calm your senses until the manic maddening drop. Sugar is so sweet track! #PureGold Love it
