The Swedes have done it again, following the release of their Paradise Again live album last week, the trio today release the highly awaited single ‘Ray Of Solar’.
Incorporating goosebumps-worthy strings and a hauntingly beautiful choir-like vocal, the Swedish House Mafia have outdown themselves. Laid over a bouncy house beat, the track is packed with energy but still holds a touching, emotional component that transcends the airwaves and touches you. The piano and the melody that it showcases is a real treat, there is no denying this anthem is of a high quality.
The single is co-produced with frequent SHM collaborators PARISI and talented producer YARO, with his first SHM credit. What is interesting is not seeing Axwell’s name in the production credits – this could mean the song was initially conceptualised as a Buy Now (Seb & Steve’s duo alias) track that later suited Swedish House Mafia.
