Coming up this Friday, August 28!
The new Rising Star. The alias from Armin van Buuren.
This time with the vocals of Cari.
What do you guys think?
Imo it is not his best work as Rising Star, but better then the previous release 'Cosmos' :)

I actually like the ad-libs, oohs and aahs, though the sung part is really off-putting. Something's also missing in the production, something feels seriously off.

Sounds pretty bad. I’ll try to be constructive.

Dont like the vocal (again angelic over-emotional lines on top of a piano, and the vocal itself is like any other female in this style), the beats (no energy in it at all, the clap is so sterile), the melody (doesnt go anywhere, a few notes sound very awkward even), the synth playing the melody (sounds thin and cheap, too much detuned maybe).

All those old Airbase tracks that never got released sound so much better. And this track comes from the Messi of trance? No, its not good.

Cheesy as f*ck, just as 99% of the modern vocal trance which is so loved by the "trance families" around the world.

Even if there was a dub version this would sound not interesting for me at all.

Interesting bassline here, but it's still somehow empty. Something really feels off here, especially in the climax.

Also, is he using the Morse code? Copycat. 😂

Full mix here:

The vocal is a big no-no for me. Same was for the previous track with Alexandra Badoi. I'm sorry to say it, but they are just not good singers. You really can't compare this vocal with, for example, one of Fiora.
The instrumental part is just ok, maybe it will grow on me.

Definitely one of the worse Rising Star's songs for me.

A dub mix would be better but even the track itself is nothing special. Guess Armin and Benno should really stick to the radio pop if they can't make any Trance anymore.
