New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Europa have today unleashed their debut single 'All Day And Night', featuring white-hot US singer Madison Beer. Europa is
Jax Jones and
Martin Solveig: two friends who also just so happen to be multi-platinum artists (with over 4 billion combined streams), pushing each other to investigate musical avenues they'd never explore on their own.
Europa is club-focused pop music and pop-focused club music. Europa is friendship. Europa is a larger-than-life explosion of unexpected combinations, total freedom, unexpected twists and bridges not walls. Europa is the phrase 'stronger together' brought to life in vivid colors.
Born out of a mutual admiration and cemented by a hug given by
Martin after Jax's set in Ibiza, the pair's collaboration has been a long time coming. It was only after Solveig made the Eurostar trip toJax's London studio that they realized that they had something special and the spirit of Europa started to take shape: ''for the first-ever Europa session,
Martin came in and played a song with a cheeky sax riff in it.'' Jax adds ''He looked at me as if to say: 'This is a bit taboo, but we could try it.' And then I said: 'Well if we're doing that, how about TRANCE?"
One delight of the genre-agnostic Europa outlook is that it's truly a project without hard borders, and with US singer/songwriter Madison Beer, who was recognized by Billboard on its 2018 "21 Under 21" roster of the most promising young talents in music, contributing vocals to chart-ready walloper 'All Day And Night', Europa is also a celebration of frictionless relationships with the rest of the world. "To haveMadison on our first track is great. She has an undeniable truth in her vocal that we both really like and since launching her career she's become an influential voice of her generation,"
Martin comments. Late last year Madison released 'Hurts Like Hell', which continues to climb the charts and was described byComplex as her "biggest track to date." The song is just a glimpse of what's to come from her highly-anticipated upcoming debut studio album this summer.
Future singles will pair Europa with further still-under-wraps vocalists; they'll be complemented in Europa's live shows by a raft of club-ready cuts bursting with spontaneity and openness.
"A huge common point for us is that we want people to have fun," Jax and
Martin explain. "Europa has allowed both of us to step out from what everybody else might consider reasonable.
Music doesn't have to be reasonable. You might even say it shouldn't be."
Playing numerous illustrious festivals including Electric
Daisy Carnival, Creamfields, SW4 and Lollapalooza,
Martin Solveig continues to build his reputation as a truly multifaceted star of dance music. Previously bringing his 'My House' event series to various venues, including his own ADE showcase and a Pacha Ibiza residency,
Martin is best known for his huge hits 'Intoxicated', 'Do It Right', 'Places', 'All Stars', and as recently as last summer, 'My Love'.
The announcement of Europa follows an impressive start to 2019 for London's Jax Jones. A secondBRIT Award nomination in a row came in the wake of his latest Top 10 collaboration - the groove-fuelled earworm 'Play' ft. Years & Years. He plays his biggest headline show to date at London's Roundhouse on 6th April, before heading to
America for a landmark nine date tour.
