[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]&friends feat. Phina Asa remake in their own incredible way the beloved anthem by Armin and Trevor Guthrie, This Is What It Feels Like. Excellent tribal percussion, warm basslines, playful atmosphere and exceptional application of the original piano melody that can crawl under your skin and touch your heart straight away. The ethnic style vocals really work to add their touch and of course the idea to have a female singer singing the deep painful lyrics really elevate the whole production to the next level. Armin should feel very happy and proud to have such an imaginative and captivating version of his song. Summer beach bar hit and Cafe Del Mar compilations will adore it too. #PureGold Love IT[/content]
