Stirring Single by Avicii: “Waiting for Love”

Tim Bergling or as we all know as Avicii, the famous Swedish producer and DJ, is back on track again after a few overdue new single releases owing to the fact of unfortunate health issues the DJ suffered just before 2014 ends. His new single, “Waiting for Love,” could have been created specifically to shine a ray of hope to whoever listens.

“Waiting for Love” was also co-produced by the 19 year-Old Dutch DJ Martin Garrix, who was together with Avicii at the premiere of the track last March at Ultra Music Festival 2015. The single was officially released for digital download last 22nd of May and the accompanying videos following at the same month. There was confusion on the vocals, however. At first it was believed John Legend was the one who lent the vocals; but after a few more speculations, it was confirmed Simon Aldred, the founding member of a British indie rock band Cherry Ghost, was responsible for the voice in the electronic song.

The track opens up to an upbeat melody heavy lined with a beguiling play of piano, and then the refreshing vocals of Simon Aldred was introduced not a few seconds later. There’s a clear rapture riding throughout the melody; one that effectively communicates a hopeful track, as one can perceive all throughout the lyrics.

“We are one of a kind irreplaceable/ How did I get so blind and so cynical/ If there’s love in this life we’re unstoppable/ No we can’t be defeated.”

It was further enhanced by the animated video dedicated for the song. The team hired animators to tell a story between a man and his best friend dog. Drawn against a backdrop of changing hues, the dog set out on an adventure looking for his master, who was sent out in a war as a service to his country. Braving dangerous terrains, unfamiliar paths, and almost giving up, they finally got reunited at the end – it can definitely bring a smile into your face.

Another video was released for the song as well, where you can have 360 degree perspective by toggling the screen.

The track was his third single from his album Stories that will be released this fall, and one to watch out for if you got enraptured by the song. And it’s no surprise if you will. It’s a beautiful track – destined to propel the festive feeling of summer at greater heights or just provide warmth and vigor to a quiet humming of the song by the fireplace during the cold seasons. It’s your pick.

For AIDS Awareness, Wyclef’s “Divine Sorrow”

Music and song ignites are humanly feelings. When in times of need and one feels down, music is there and it just make its listeners alive. There are things larger to music more than just its beat or how amusing it is to the ears, it is the life which music brings.

Music and songs can really serve as a motivation to everyone, it can give people hope, hope to fight everything that may come in their way. Wyclef, a Haitian hip hop artist, has just given hope through his new song “Divine Sorrow”.

The strong character of Wyclef, particularly Haiti struck by plagues like earthquakes and diseases over the past few years, is very evident within the song. But wait, it was not just Wyclef, he also collaborated with a Swedish DJ and producer, no other than, Avicii.

This collaboration just seems to create a perfect partnership and an interesting result. Want to know what’s more interesting about this single? The song was released last 17th of November of last year as a campaign for “Share the Sound of an AIDS-Free Generation” by Product Red which is a licensed brand seeking to spread awareness and prevention about the HIV or AIDS in Africa.

The song was just a perfect awakening call for hope not just for African people but for the whole world as well. As evident in the video, a dominant red splashing colors which symbolize the campaign suits the motivating and a lively feel of the song. Avicii’s beat adds more jive and character which makes the song stronger.

Wyclef’s idea to create this song is to motivate people, no matter what problems they may encounter, they can battle it out and just celebrate life to its fullest. The song is the lead single by the strong-spirited Haitian for his upcoming seventh studio album Clefication.

The song is being listened to in different countries such as Belgium, Sweden and United States. Feel the spirit and celebrate life with Wyclef and Aviici’s “Divine Sorrow”.
