Especially after a love-scented day as Valentine’s Day, it’s important not to forget that everyone deserves a bit of love. So, to warm the hearts of not only couples, but also of everyone still looking to find that special someone, Armin van Buuren has unleashed a brand-new single – and accompanying music video – that no amount of lit candles and rose petals can compete with: ‘Lonely For You’ (feat. Bonnie McKee).

An atypical love song so many people can draw strength from, Armin van Buuren’s ‘Lonely For You’ is empowering in its own unique way. Featuring Bonnie McKee’s dynamic and emotional vocals that blend superbly with the  mash of poppy chords and drum and bass-inspired rhythms, this track puts Armin van Buuren’s experimental side in the limelight in the best possible way.

Armin van Buuren: “’Lonely For You’ was written with the lovely Bonnie McKee. For me, it resembles the struggles we all face with and in relationships, ups and downs. I think it was appropriate to release it around Valentine’s Day!”

American singer-songwriter Bonnie McKee is no stranger to the upper reaches of the music industry. Throughout her blossoming career, she has (co-)written songs for global superstars such as Katy Perry (‘Part Of Me’, ‘Wide Awake’, ‘California Girls’, Teenage Dream’ and ‘Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)’), Taio Cruz (‘Dynamite’), Britney Spears (‘Hold It Against Me’), Elliot Yamin, Rita Ora, Ke$ha, Cheryl, Adam Lambert and Rusko. Now, she teams up with none other than Grammy-nominated, five-time #1 DJ in the world Armin van Buuren for a wonderful single that’s bound to ignite a fiery passion in listeners worldwide.

For the first time in dance music history, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Armin van Buuren and W&W have joined forces for a huge new track. Showcasing the iconic signature sounds of everyone in this all-star link-up, ‘Repeat After Me’ is set to unite dance music fans from all over the world.

Easily one of the most epic collaborations of the year even though 2019 has only just begun, ‘Repeat After Me’ is an all-out mainstage anthem sure to cause some serious damage at the world’s biggest festivals, clubs and venues. Armed with the energetic signature sounds of Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Armin van Buuren and W&W, this high-impact live set highlight has set its sights on only one thing: dominating the global dance floor for decades to come.

While this is the first three-way team-up of the staple artists ever, there have been a number of two-side collaborations between them that generated a huge amount of momentum. While Armin van Buuren and W&W only just collaborated on the iconic ‘Ready To Rave’ (after previously making waves with ‘If It Ain’t Dutch’ and ‘#D Fat’), Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and W&W teamed up on mainstage bangers such as ‘Crowd Control’, ‘Arcade’ and Tomorrowland anthem ‘Waves’.

The release of ‘Repeat After Me’ is tied to the launch of a brand-new video. All in all, the blistering record and equally impressive music video make clear in no uncertain terms what you get when the #2, #4 and #14 DJs in the world decide to team up: a record so impactful you’ve got no choice but to hit repeat.

Ah, the perks of having play time in between gigs. This week, Armin van Buuren got to build a Millennium Falcon out of Lego, picked up his new Jaguar, and indulged in some VR play with his friends for his birthday before continuing his globetrotting with shows in India (Sunburn), Hong Kong and Sanya (ISY music festival). What a time to be alive, right?

While fans just found out if their picks made it into the fan-voted Top 50 Trance tracks of the year, Armin van Buuren has unveiled his own Top 20 of 2018.
