the seventh artist album from musician, DJ and – most just lately – songwriter, Markus Schulz has confirmed its launch spot. October 12 will see the German-born/US-based artist place sixteen tracks throughout the album body of ‘We Are The Light’.

‘We Are The Light’ is a launch that pulls on musical areas Markus has been lengthy acknowledged/commemorated for, in addition to ones extra just lately ventured into. Given the 2 albums that instantly precede it, it’s additionally a launch he’s conscious that’ll include a level of predetermination.

“Yeah, I do know!” Markus says wryly: Dakota: ‘darkish’, Markus Schulz: ‘not darkish’. It’s a straightforward expedient method of it. Personally although, with this album, I really feel we’re transcending that. We’re transferring past it and into a 3rd band. If something, that is ‘Markus Schulz: ‘constructive’”.

Whilst likely sharing some sonic genetics with each ‘Watch The World’ and final yr’s Dakota LP, it is too neat to peg ‘WATL’ as both straight successor to the previous, nor clear-cut yin to ‘The Nine Skies’ yang. Something certainly extra conversional and epochal occurred in the beginning of its manufacturing. A shift in outlook that had a decisive impact upon its make-up. This album is, in reality, a consequence to each releases and marks an expressional ascension for Markus.

It is – to place it in a single phrase – “up”.

This is one thing that its observe titles swiftly underscore. Numbers like ‘The Awakening’, ‘You Light Up The Night’, ‘Heaven’, ‘We Haven’t Lost Our Way’, ‘Safe From Harm’, ‘The Dreamers’, ‘Together’, ‘Utopia’ and ‘We Are The Light’s title single all telegraph its standpoint clear as day.

The album options an organization of singers and fellow co-songwriters that – even by the gilt requirements of Schulz’s earlier LP releases – is an unparalleled meeting. Markus has consciously (as he places it) “blended up the pack” on the album. For each acquainted title, there’s a co-writer making their debut. For each neophyte, there’s a longtime artist from one other style-space being launched to the digital music realm.

From the already-acquainted facet, ‘Scream 2’s Seri is again collaborating, as are ‘Watch The World’ alumni Nikki Flores, Adina Butar and Soundland. As anticipated the album homes the 2018 Schulz singles ‘Safe From Harm’, ‘Calling For Love’ and ‘Upon My Shoulders’. (Those respectively marked Markus’ debut collaborations with Emma Hewitt, JES and Sebu of Capital Cities fame). On the spellbinding ‘Symphony of Stars’, Christina Novelli additionally makes a first-time look, whereas the album seeks and finds expertise from different European quarters too. Alina Eremia and Smiley – already immensely profitable family names inside their native Romania – make dazzling first time musical debuts exterior their house nation.

‘We Are The Light’s has additionally afforded Markus the a lot desired alternative to renew the song-writing that first manifested on ‘Watch The World’. For every album observe, nearly with out exception, Markus sat down with singers and songwriters to contribute ideas, angles and particular person insights, in addition to lyrical strains, verses & choruses.

Marking its last pre-release milestone, ‘We Are The Light’ namesake single drops right this moment, and together with it, its astonishing, nothing-less-then mesmerizing official video. Shot amongst the Californian redwoods throughout the snowy frontend months of 2018, the Nikki Flores-sung title observe is in itself an embodiment of the newly discovered positivity that’s the first driving drive behind the album.
