Dance music giants SLANDER have teamed up with acclaimed vocalist HALIENE to drop their long-awaited festival ID, a powerful melodic bass take on the timeless ’90s hit, ‘Save Tonight.’ Released on their own Heaven Sent label, this track transforms Eagle-Eye Cherry’s global classic into an emotional, modern-day anthem that’s been lighting up dance floors for months. ‘Save Tonight’ is more than just a cover; it’s a full-on rebirth. HALIENE’s vocals are the star of the show, shifting from a delicate touch to a soaring, intense performance. Her voice, paired with wistful piano melodies and swelling pads, builds to a crescendo of striking synth surges.
