Breathe' is the latest single from Oliver Smith's debut studio album 'Footprints', out 2nd May on Anjunabeats. The trance floor-filler sees Oliver collaborate with Californian singer-songwriter Midnite Amity, and is the follow up to his collaborative single with Tailor, 'Rely On Me'; a track that earned support from Armin van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Giuseppe Ottaviani, Solarstone, Adam White, Don Diablo, Gabriel & Dresden, Massane, Mees Salomé and more.

Why am I not surprised that this track gets support from the likes of Armin Van Burren lol.
Maybe a good pop song, but awful 'trance' track. These female vocals, omg. Seriously, I do not hate vocals in trance tracks in general (although I get mostly annoyed by them) but this song represents nearly everything what trance music should NOT be all about. It's cheesy, simple and has absolutely nothing to do with any trance spirit.
So please stop labelling such songs as 'trance', because that's not true. It's pop music, nothing more or less. Sorry.

I miss how dance vocals tracks would have lovely reverbs and were properly sung like Wait for you (Quadraphonic Remix) Chakra track

It's been tagged under Melodic house on beatport.

Good example with Chakra! I also love 'Love Shines Through' to this day. :)

If we are talking house music, then Karen Overton's - Your Loving Arms is another good example, which is a remix of another track.

Same Anjunabeats/Andrew Bayer stuff that we have heard a million times before. The label has been stuck to the same sounds for 10+ years.

Yeah cos that's not cheesy at all is it?
The way I see thing is that there is a good cheese and then there is bad moulded rat infested cheese (which is what this track by Oliver Smith ) I doubt he even cares as well as long as it gets signed that's all he cares about.
