While Armin van Buuren obliterates the boundaries of genres, the specific skill set of singer-songwriter Cimo Fränkel enters the mix of ‘Strong Ones’. With the merging of a beautifully strummed guitar, Cimo’s spectacular vocals, and Armin’s melodic ingenuity, a real floor thriller unfolds, allowing for Armin’s signature sound to thrive. As a song capable of kindling the flames in one’s heart, this record is for the ‘Strong Ones’.
With ‘Embrace’, Armin van Buuren embraces a wide variety of musical styles and ventures where few dare to tread, using these unconventional sounds as ingredients to fuel his own sound. Ranging from the rocky sound of Kensington in ‘Heading Up High’ to the jazzy sound of Eric Vloeimans’ trumpet in ‘Embrace’, Mr. Probz and his hip-hop voice in hit single ‘Another You’, and the singer-songwriter skills of Gavin Degraw in ‘Looking For Your Name’; all are strongly intertwined with Armin van Buuren’s meritorious endeavor..
