Fresh off the back of his biggest ever summer, in which he released multiple smash hits and performed in just about every corner of the globe, Felix Jaehn now unleashes the perfect vocal track to close out the season with 'Like A Riddle'.
Teaming up with Swedish duo Hearts & Colors and up & coming French producer Adam Trigger, ‘Like A Riddle’ is quintessential Jaehn listening, with its infectious and dreamy riff combined with elements of moombahton, marimba and even hip-hop. It all comes together flawlessly with the addition of Hearts & Colors’ original vocals, which strike the perfect balance throughout. Jaehn has also dropped an official video to mark the release of ‘Like A Riddle’, which can be viewed here.
Having made a name for himself over the years for some of the most forward-thinking collaborations out there, ‘Like a Riddle’ is yet another example of Jaehn’s knack for finding some of the most exciting musical talents on earth to team up with, whether its a big name in the form of Steve Aoki or a rising talent such as Hearts & Colors or Adam Trigger. Jaehn worked closely with Hearts & Colors on the vocal performance of ‘Like a Riddle’, having invited them to the studio in Berlin after hearing them top the Scandinavian streaming-charts with their song ‘Lighthouse’.
With some of the biggest crossover hits of the last few years, Jaehn is now preparing for the release of his debut studio album ‘I’, via Universal Music.
Jaehn said, “My debut album is nearly here! After having two worldwide hits that I produced in my bedroom studio, my life changed quickly! I have experienced the craziest things and been inspired by cultures all around the world! Over the past few years I've released a lot of singles and collaborations that I am very proud of, but it's time to take the next step and finally release 'I' - an album that I have been working on for years to get right! An album that will show you even more of both my music, and myself.” 'I' will be available on FEB 16th and it’s available to pre-order now.”
Featuring a massive 25 songs, ‘I’ is set to show a side to Felix Jaehn that has never been seen before, and will include previous hits such as his ‘Cheerleader’ remix, ‘Ain’t Nobody’, ‘Bonfire’ or ‘Hot2Touch” which have already totalled over 1 billions streams combined, alongside 15 brand new original tracks.

[item value="10"]Felix Jaehn - Like A Riddle ft. Hearts & Colors, Adam Trigger[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Felix Jaehn is one of the nicest guys in the pop dance scene with huge tropical house anthems and Like A Riddle ft. Hearts & Colors, Adam Trigger is his latest track and I must confess that is very strong indeed. Great vocal with nice story and lyrics that audiences can identify easily and great playful tropical house groove, funky basslines, xylophone and trumpet melodies and even trap like sequence in the breakdown. Sunkissed melodies and warm atmosphere guarantees to keep sun in your heart and feel better instantly. Perfect after clubbing sounds to relax and spaced out. #PureGold Love It[/content]
