New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Each of the instruments you see on the album cover - which was shot by Anton Corbijn - was an instrument actually used on the album! I thought it would be a real challenge to myself to try to create dance music using all of these disparate instruments.
GRAMMY® nominated electronic musician Armin van Buuren will release his sixth and latest full-length studio album, EMBRACE (Armada Music) on October 29th, 2015. The full tracklist of the album will be revealed today during the 733rd episode of Armin's weekly A
State of Trance (ASOT) radio show. The weekly two-hour ASOT radio show is currently heard by more than 33 million listeners on 100 FM radio stations in 84 countries. Beginning today, EMBRACE will be available for digital pre-order; the physical pre-order has been available since
September 3rd.
Truly a remarkable and comprehensive work-of-art, EMBRACE is quite possibly Armin's best creative effort to date. With more than 17 years as a professional DJ and producer to his credit, Armin has developed a finely honed ability to create the most dynamic music. It's music that's as aurally stimulating as it is emotionally dense.
EMBRACE includes genre-shattering collaborations. They include a number of brand-new collaborations between Armin and: the Dutch jazz trumpeter, Eric Vloeimans ("Embrace"); singer/songwriter Cimo Fränkel ("
Strong Ones"); popular Dutch band,
Kensington ("
Heading Up High"); and fellow GRAMMY® nominee,
Gavin DeGraw ("Looking For Your Name"). The first two singles from EMBRACE are out now: "
Another You" featuring Mr. Probz and "
Off The Hook" with Hardwell.
Said Armin of the stylistic diversity of his EMBRACE album, "Each of the instruments you see on the album cover - which was shot by Anton Corbijn - was an instrument actually used on the album! I thought it would be a real challenge to myself to try to create dance music using all of these disparate instruments. I really wanted to push myself past my comfort zone and create something very exciting not just for me, but for all the lovers of music out there. I hope you enjoy it." Judging by the ecstatic reaction of audiences whenever Armin plays his album cuts onstage, he has, once again, succeeded.
