Oliver Heldens has joined forces with the vocal talent of Julia Church to deliver their mesmerizing new track, ‘Ruins.’ Released today via the iconic Ministry of Sound imprint under Sony, the single is a masterclass in emotive electronic music, seamlessly blending Heldens’ signature sonic energy with Church’s soul-stirring vocal prowess. In ‘Ruins’, Heldens’ meticulously crafted production lays a foundation of melodic richness and irresistible groove, perfectly cradling Church’s evocative vocals. The result is a summer-infused anthem that possesses a rare depth, equally suited for euphoric festival crowds and introspective solo listening. The track delves into themes of finding beauty amidst vulnerability and the transformative power of growth after heartbreak, adding this into Oliver’s already extensive discography. “When I got the first demo version of this song from the brilliant Julia Church, it hit me right away, and I became determined to turn it into a massive dance anthem. Big pianos, big trancy lead synths, a big bassline, and even bigger vocals from Julia with deeply meaningful lyrics. It’s been amazing working with Julia and the other super-talented writers, Ollie Green and Franklin, and I’m thrilled how this turned into a modern dance smash, while we still kept such a timeless feel to it” Heldens says. Oliver Heldens’ influence on the electronic music landscape continues to be put on display. With over a decade of shaping the genre, he boasts an astounding 4 billion global streams and a reputation for electrifying performances at the world’s most prestigious festivals, including Coachella, EDC, Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, Tomorrowland, and Ultra.
