Tiësto announces artist album "Elements of Life"
On April 10, 2007, Tiësto will release his brand new artist album, “Elements Of Life”. The Dutch-born DJ has been recognized as the worldwide chart topping success that sells out stadium events, performs to billions at the Olympics, uses his muse to battle the AIDS epidemic, and consistently gives his fans what they desire. His career is filled with so many achievements that to say Tiësto is the number one DJ in the world simplifies what has taken over a decade to build, and we wouldn’t sum it up as such. This new release, ‘Elements Of Life’, is officially labeled as Tiësto’s third artist album to date, once again affirming Tiësto’s status as not only a serious performer, but also as a serious musician. Track Listing: 1. Ten Seconds Before Sunrise 2. Everything feat. Jes 3. Can You Feel Me feat. Julie Thompson 4. Carpe Noctum 5. Driving To Heaven 6. Sweet Things feat. Charlotte Martin 7. Bright Morningstar 8. Break My Fall feat. BT 9. In The Dark feat. Christian Burns 10. Dance4Life feat. Maxi Jazz 11. Elements Of Life 12. He's A Pirate (Tiësto Remix)
His 2001 debut album ‘In My Memory’ included the hits ‘Flight 643’, ‘Suburban Train’ and ‘Lethal Industry.’ His 2004 follow-up ‘Just Be’ was just as strong with the singles ‘Traffic’,‘Love Comes Again’ and ‘Adagio For Strings’. The sound of this new album has certainly progressed from Tiësto’s former productions, incorporating more house and vocal elements,crafting real electronic songs instead of purely focusing on hit tracks for the dance floor. The album includes already familiar tunes, such as the worldwide phenom, ‘Dance4Life,’ co-written with Maxi Jazz, one half of the renowned duo Faithless. The single was released in 2006 to create awareness among young people of the AIDS/HIV epidemic, with all the proceeds benefiting the Dance4Life organization. Dance4Life is a growing, worldwide project to promote awareness of HIV and AIDS by summoning the active involvement of all young people to dancefor life on a global scale. ‘Elements Of Life’ features renown guest vocalists such as innovative producer and previous Tiësto collaborator BT a.k.a. Brian Transeau, who delivers his trademark vocals on a brand new love song,‘Break My Fall’. Independent singer/songwriter Charlotte Martin, whose voice and spirit are often compared to the likes of Kate Bush and Tori Amos, can be heard on the haunting ‘Sweet Things.’ The deeply hypnotic track ‘Can You Feel Me,’ allows Julie Thompson, best known from the hit ‘Nothing’ by Holden & Thompson, to entrance the listener into a state of pure unadulterated pleasure. The other male vocal on the album [is from] can be attributed to U.K.-based Christian Burns, formerly of the band BBMak and currently making new noise around the world with his band Inhaler. He is featured on ‘In The Dark,’ the first new single from ‘Elements Of Life.’ It is a song described by Tiësto as ‘Rocktronic,’ a mix of electronic music and rock, and will get the remix treatment from Carl B. and Dirty South, accompanied by a forthcoming video. Also featured on the album is JES, famous from her tracks ‘As The Rush Comes’ by Motorcycle and ‘Like A Waterfall’, bringing her celebrated style to the new hit ‘Everything’. ‘Elements Of Life’ also highlights instrumental dance floor stompers ‘Ten Seconds Before Sunrise’, ‘Carpe Noctum’ and ‘Bright Morningstar,’ which are all trademark Tiësto material. Eleven tracks with one bonus will make ‘Elements Of Life’ one of the top electronic albums of 2007. In support of the album, Tiësto will embark upon an “Elements Of Life” world tour for a year.
