Trance Review: River - Let Go out on Armind / Armada


After debuting on Armind this year with ‘I Can’t Sleep’, U.K. youngster RIVER comes up trumps with ‘Let Go’ as his sophomore release on the label. Handpicked for inclusion on Armin van Buuren’s ‘A State of Trance 2024’ mix album, this modern trancer brings together stunning harmonies, a commanding beat and heartfelt vocals to drive the emotion home.

[item value="10"]River - Let Go [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]River is one of the upcoming artist in the trance scene that promises to explode big time. After the massive I Can't Sleep brings the equally mesmerizing Let Go. He adopts tribal techy beat with thumping basslines, metallic kicks and airy balearic melodic themes. The breakdown is atmospheric and moody with synthy plucks building the tension along with sensitive female vocals and great lyrics followed by huge swirling euphoric synthy stabs creating the perfect mayhem that explodes out of any proportion in the powerful and truly unforgettable climax. If you adore the nostalgic 90's sound then this great record will become instantly one of your favourites. Absolutely warm, tender and super euphoric! #PureGold Love IT[/content]
