Reason To Believe
Songwriter, DJ and vocalist supreme Aruna is back in full force with her next solo single, "Reason To Believe." The LA-based artist will make her Enhanced Music debut on August 19 and already "Reason To Believe" is shaping up to be one of summer's most memorable vocal smashes, with premieres on A State of Trance #623 and Group Therapy with Above & Beyond #037. "I wanted to step outside of the box and create new lyrical patterns and melodies that I hadn't employed before," says Aruna. "That's why I co-wrote this track with someone new to EDM." She partnered with fellow Los Angeles musician, David Bowick of the band Alder, and says that working with someone outside of the tight-knit dance music scene brought a fresh perspective to her songwriting. The lyrics speak of spiraling downwards after loss and heartbreak but Aruna's vocals convey innocence and hope. Producer and composer Steve Kaetzel brought a score of sparkling piano melodies, wobbling, glitchy bass and soothing trance chimes wrapped with intricate vocal editing to make the track fit for at-home, easy listening or havoc-wreaking on the dance floor.
