Audien and Lady Antebellum and Armin van Buuren

Today I have some wicked new music for you. Audien is an electronic artist that I really can't get enough of. Every one of his songs has been a hit for me. He knows how to make a wide variety of house music wish is absolutely amazing. There is this great melody, buildup and climax in every song and each one sounds different. This song features Lady Antebellum. Now who would have thought a country band and an EDM artist would go together? I mean Avicii did it with a lot of style and skill. But it is different when working with a band like Lady Antebellum. This is a band that already has an established style, a specific sound that they emulate with each and every song and album they put out. So to have to pull an artist like that and house-ify it, well it isn't exactly an easy task. But Audien does such an incredible job that it is actually mindblowing. He is the kind of artist that really takes the time to make sure each track has originality. With this song for example, one of the things he does is keep the normalcy of Lady Antebellum's work. The tradeoff between the male and female vocals is something heavily stressed by Lady Antebellum and Audien makes very good use of that repertoire. Another thing that makes this song a great blend of sounds is the fact that Audien makes use of the face that Lady Antebellum likes to use a little orchestral work in their music. He is able to use that as a nice underlying melody to the main vocalization that occurs. And of course, we can't forget about the hook of the song. There is so much awesome energy in this song and this really sick hype! Audien gives this song a really great positive tone, something worthy of festival time. This is one of those house songs that just makes you feel good all over. It is the kind of song you could listen to when driving down the highway with the wind in your hair, or walking around a big city at night with friends. It is the kind of song that is all the greatest moments wrapped up in one. Today's instrumental song is by Armin van Buuren. This is another great house song. But this song is different in that it makes you feel independent and this sense of freedom. I mean don't get me wrong, this is definitely a feel good song. But it is also the kind of song where I imagine myself running on the beach at night with my face in the wind and just plain happiness. The thing about songs like this is that they evoke ideas of pure bliss and I love that. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!
