Having released a number of much loved classics along the way, that include the global hit 'Silence' which ft. Sarah McLachlan, along with 'Terra Firma' ft. Aude - fast forward to the present & Delerium now present their highly anticipated new single 'Stay'.
Embracing a sound with a clear nod to their past & a firm look into their future, 'Stay' features the vocal talents of three time Grammy nominated JES & sees Delerium touch down with a record that has the hallmarks of a future sure-fire player. Along with the Album version, a whole host of remixes come in from artists including Anjuna favourites Matt Lange & Beckwith, along with Vibonacci & Starward, Eskai & Kris O'Neil.

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]The beloved project Delerium is back with the excellent singer JES on vocal duties. The chilling/electronica original which will relax your senses and travel your imagination to faraway lands is supported by the most perfect remixes that you could think for this single. Firstly is the awesome Matt Lange who goes deeper for tribal tech house excursion and darker moody textures. Secondly Beckwith follows the dark path but in the middle of the road allows beautiful melodies to crop up and add some colour and emotional attachment to the superb vocal. Kris O'Niel well known for his progressive house & trance deliver the pumping mainstage progressive version with piano chords, uplifting driving synths, melodramatic intense moments and euphoric rhythm to throw those hands in the air and even let some tears running too. Eskai remix is an excellent slice of melodic progressive trance with bubbly basslines, thumping drums, piano melodies and superb long breakdown leading to the climax that adds balearic guitar riffs for the right sunkissed result. Last but not least Vibonacci & Starward Remix provide the future house/mainstage friendly version with blissful breakdown and full on climax with wobbly effects and cool full on atmosphere. #PureGold Love IT [/content]
