Alesso & Matthew Koma’s ‘Years’ Has Turned 12 Years Old

Twelve years ago, on August 4, 2012, Alesso released the captivating single ‘Years’, featuring the vocals of Matthew Koma. Following the massive success of ‘Calling’ with Sebastian Ingrosso, Alesso returned to Refune Records with this progressive house gem. Premiered during Swedish House Mafia‘s takeover of Pete Tong‘s Radio 1 show, the instrumental version of ‘Years’ generated immense excitement among EDM fans. The highly anticipated vocal version soon followed, bringing Koma‘s uplifting lyrics to life with Alesso‘s shimmering piano melodies, driving drums, and anthemic synths.

‘Years’ quickly became a summer anthem, energizing festivals worldwide with its optimistic and soaring sound. Alesso‘s production prowess shines throughout the track, perfectly complementing Koma‘s emotive vocal delivery and creating a euphoric atmosphere that resonated with audiences everywhere.

Hailing from Stockholm, Alesso has been a force in the electronic dance music scene from the beginning of his career. Over the years, he has cemented his status as one of the most in-demand DJs globally, headlining major festivals such as Tomorrowland, EDC, Ultra Music Festival, and Creamfields. Known for his ability to craft unforgettable melodies and powerful drops, Alesso has continued to evolve his sound, most recently returning to his progressive house roots with his ‘Progresso’ EPs.

‘Years’ remains a standout track in Alesso‘s discography, a testament to his talent and his ability to create music that transcends time and trends. Its lasting impact and continued popularity highlight the enduring appeal of Alesso‘s music and his significant contribution to the world of EDM.
