2010 will see another milestone in the already illustrious career of Armin van Buuren when he releases his new artist album, ‘Mirage’, 10th of September. As with previous releases, the album paves the way for a new ‘Armin Only’ world tour.’ Armin Only 2010 — Mirage’ will visit major cities across 5 different continents.
With the new ‘Mirage’ album, Armin introduces a musical side of him fans haven’t heard yet. Says Armin of his newest work; “’Mirage’ has been the biggest project I’ve ever worked on. Work started two years ago when I actually built a completely new studio for this project. Many new techniques were used and most of all I had so much fun creating this with the many people that are involved. It was a journey, an epic one!”
‘Mirage’ reveals a side of Armin his fans haven’t heard yet, and takes in its listeners with new and surprising collaborations. Within the 2 years of endless jamming and producing, Armin worked with Dance music icons Ferry Corsten, BT, and Josh Gabriel, along with the talents of Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Nadia Ali, Guy Chambers, Christian Burns and Adam Young of Owl City. To serve as a treat for fans the album was preceded by the purely instrumental floor-filler ‘Full Focus’, released worldwide on the 24th of June.
Inspired and influenced by many different types of music, ‘Mirage’ is more diverse than any other Armin album before Second single ‘Not Giving Up On Love’, a collaboration with Sophie Ellis-Bextor, is a perfect example of that, combining the best of both worlds. Armin: “The Nervo Sisters, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and me met up to write the vocals for ‘Not Giving Up On Love’. I was thrilled to work with them on this. We gave it a more analogue feel with some real drums, to give it a pop-rock feel. We also put a piano top line on the track and then the vocals of Sophie, which I think is a win. It’s a lush summer tune with an epic vocal that gets stuck in your head and cheers you up!”
‘Mirage’ is filled with musical fusions and surprising interpretations, from the orchestral masterpiece of title track ‘Mirage’, deep trance track ‘I Don’t Own You’ and housy ‘Feels So Good’ to the eerie ‘Take A Moment’ and feel-good ‘Drowning’. "There are actually 16 tracks on the album," van Buuren confirmed. "Then there is a deluxe edition where you can buy another five bonus tracks. It's the biggest project I've ever done and I'm really proud to be sharing this with the world right now."
