June 21, 2024 – World-renowned DJ and producer Armin van Buuren is thrilled to announce his first collaboration with the successful German DJ and producer duo VIZE and the sensational singer Leony. Their track, titled ‘City Lights’, marks a significant milestone, uniting these artists after years of releasing on Armada Music, the biggest independent dance music label in the world.
‘City Lights’ beautifully combines classic trance elements with a modern twist, featuring a tinkling piano melody, a driving bassline, and a contemporary hook through its pop-inspired chord progression and modern vocal lines.
"Collaborating with VIZE and Leony has been an incredibly inspiring experience," said Armin van Buuren. "I've been consistently impressed by their talent and the fresh energy they bring to their music, so collaborating with them was an opportunity I couldn't pass up."
"We are beyond excited to work with Armin," shared VIZE and Leony in a joint statement. "His influence on the dance music scene is unparalleled and collaborating with him has been an incredible journey. We can't wait for our fans to hear what we've created together."
VIZE has firmly made his mark on dance music with tracks such as ‘Never Let Me Down’ and most recent output ‘Heaven’, both of which quickly gained recognition for their unique blend of dance and pop elements. Boasting over 3 billion streams and 75 Gold and Platinum awards in 18 countries, VIZE has continued to captivate audiences and establish a distinctive presence in the electronic music scene.
Leony, who is also an Armada Music regular, has been a consistent force with releases such as ‘Remedy’, ‘Somewhere In Between’ and ‘Simple Life’, which received widespread acclaim and showcased her powerful vocals and emotionally charged performances. Most recently, she collaborated with MEDUZA and OneRepublic for the official UEFA EURO 2024 Song: ‘Fire’.
