The highly anticipated new single from the American singer and the British producer, ‘Eclipsed By You’, is set for release on April 3
In the world of music and especially within the trance scene, styles and artistic identities are so diverse that when the right match happens, the result can feel almost inevitable. HALIENE and Ilan Bluestone had never worked together until now, but given their musical approaches, it’s clear this was a perfect collaboration that had simply yet to happen.
Kelly Sweet, the real name of the American artist, has built her career on an intense and deeply emotional voice, which has led her to collaborate with numerous producers across the electronic music scene, ranging from trance and EDM to progressive house. Saving Light, released in 2017 with Gareth Emery and STANDERWICK and awarded Tune Of The Year at A State Of Trance, marked a turning point in her career, cementing her status with a track that has since become iconic within the trance community.
As previously highlighted in one of our articles, Ilan Bluestone has made collaborations a central element of his artistic identity. This is especially evident in his last two albums, Impulse (2021) and Ignite (released last year), where he showcased a clear stylistic evolution, blending progressive, melodic, and synthwave influences.
The ability to adapt and enhance different styles is a defining trait shared by both artists, and Eclipsed By You seems to represent the perfect synthesis of this. From the preview, a powerful vocal breakdown by HALIENE stands out, followed by a high-quality melodic progression that builds with intensity.
The track shows such strong potential that Black Hole Recordings, the label releasing it on April 3, has already described it as a possible Tune Of The Year: will it live up to the expectations?
