Providing one last dose of sunshine before fall begins, Armin van Buuren and Louis III have released a radiant new single, “Part of Me.”
The track marks the first time van Buuren has explored the sounds of Afro house, according to a press release issued by his label, Armada Music.
“Many years ago, I found that there’s something to love in every single genre, no matter the style of music you prefer as a whole,” van Buuren said. “I’ve had the pleasure of having some of my original tracks pushed in the Afro house space by some insanely talented remixers, and what got me and inspired me was the soulfulness and warmth the genre offers in spades. I felt compelled to channel this, and I’m glad I crossed paths with Louis III to make this happen.”
Paired with the song’s rhythmic drums, Louis III’s lighthearted vocals transport you to a beach that never closes for the season. Penning deep and intimate lyrics, the South London-born singer-songwriter called the opportunity to work alongside van Buuren “a dream come true.”
“Part of Me” arrives shortly after the release of “Follow The Light,” the A State of Trance icon’s first collaboration with Hardwell in nearly a decade. Not long before that, van Buuren shared “Es Vedrà,” a track doubling as a tribute to his favorite location in Ibiza.
“Part of Me” is out now on Armada. Listen to the new single below and find it on streaming platforms here.
