"Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans."

According to Armin van Buuren, that's exactly how his new single 'Not Giving Up On Love' came into being. The second single of his forthcoming artist album 'Mirage' is a collaboration with no one less than Sophie Ellis-Bextor. This follow-up to 'Full Focus' definitely combines the best of both worlds.

After meeting up with the Nervo Sisters, the Australian songwriters of David Guetta's megahit 'When Love Takes Over', the duo got Armin in touch with Sophie. A collaboration of the three parties was born: 'Not Giving Up On Love'. And that's why the John Lennon quote fits so well. Armin:"Actually we wanted to make an instrumental, more electro-related track and ended up in a collab with Sophie Ellis-Bextor. It instantly clicked in my head. This is the right combination. I think the vocal of Sophie is a win!" Sophie Ellis-Bextor became known for tracks 'Get Over You' and 'Murder On The Dancefloor' in the early millennium-years. In the meanwhile, the British singer is up for her fourth artist album, mixing pop, indie and disco with 80's electronic influences.

'Not Giving Up On Love' is just as diverse as the rest of Armin's 'Mirage' album, the follow-up to Armin's '76', 'Shivers' and 'Imagine', to be released September 10th. Different from Armin's previous works, 'Not Giving Up On Love' is a melodic, electro-sounding vocal beauty with real drums, a piano line and an absolute feel-good to it. Armin:"We used 131 bpm and so it's a lot groovier and slower. The baseline is more melodic and electro based than you would normally expect from me. But I really like that sort of sound."

I know i'm 10 years too late, but I still listen to this and I pay attention to the details in your work! I love the way you put this all together! Keep em coming!

[@particle4rts]

mirage is his best artist album imo. has some amazing tracks

[@turetskiy.shpion.]

Agree. He could not produce a better one.@@particle4rts

[@angelsheart85]

Thank you forever for this collab with Sophie, it forever remains one of my fav songs ever, among all of the genres, not just electro! Truly one of the best collabs ever, along with Sharon den Adel!

[@DJPaddy643]

lol at 4:58 "...the vocal of Sophie Ellis Bextor, which i think is WIN" i like Armin for not being too overly serious about it....some producers talk about their music like Nuclear projects....

[@tuningshark]

Armin van Buuren's just the God of the electronic music! When you think there are no possibilities left to invent any more tunes and differences to make more tracks, Armin van Buuren just does it! That makes him the God of the trance! Way to go!

[@Jevgeenius56]

from this video you can see how humble Armin is, he hasnt let the fame get to his head. One track not being trance on the album is not the end of the world. Plus he made a trancier remix of it plus the remixes from JvD and Dash Berlin :) way to go Armin

[@rkasnake]

This guy is a genius. That real drum sound, is amazing

[@IhAvIk93]

when you see how much work they put into it, really gives you a new respect for it.

[@zjd92]

Armin is probably one of my favorite producers. Great guy makin' great music.

[@byronlyia]

[@audioshoes]

OMG THIS IS SO POWERFUL, EMOTIONS RUSH THROUGH ME LIKE CRAZY. Imagine was one of my all time favorite albums. I can't wait to buy this album and blast it in my car! Always welcome to come back to Arizona this year. Last year was a bust, thanks to work.

He's got a very similar setup to mine. Perhaps I simply need to learn the power of Logic Pro even further. This man is my idol as a DJ. One of the biggest reasons I even started making my own tracks. Hopefully you visit Texas again.
