Re imagining and reigniting his biggest album to date, ILLENIUM unveils ‘ASCEND Remixes’ , available via Astralwerks.
The platinum-certified Denver-based artist Nick Miller—known professionally as ILLENIUM—reenergizes his chart-topping third full-length album, ‘ASCEND’, with 24 remixes by an all-star cast of collaborators and remixers. For the project, he enlisted everyone from Snakehips, Breathe Carolina, Blanke, and Ryan Hemsworth to Tiësto, Travis Barker, 3LAU, Slander, and William Black.
Last week, he previewed the project by sharing ‘In Your Arms’ (with X Ambassadors) [Alan Walker Remix]. Adding another dimension, Walker blessed the song with bursts of energy and dancefloor-ready gloss.
‘ASCEND’ continues to reach new benchmarks. ‘Good Things Fall Apart’ with Jon Bellion just achieved platinum status as certified by the RIAA. Meanwhile, total album streams near the 1 billion-mark, eclipsing 946 million streams and counting thus far.
Additionally, he recently dropped ‘In Your Arms’ (with X Ambassadors) – Stripped. Breaking the song down to its essence, EDM.com called it, “a poignant rework of the original track that displays the classically-trained side of both artists,” while Billboard posited, “at the core of the original lies a full-fledged wedding anthem.” Dancing Astronaut summed it up best as “heartfelt.”
Making chart moves again, his recent collaboration with Excision, ‘Feel Something’ [ft. I Prevail], soared to the Top 10 on the Billboard “Hot Dance/Electronic Songs” Chart, marking his third Top 10 entry. In addition, the track has posted up over 4 million Spotify streams and counting.
ILLENIUM has quietly blossomed into one of the biggest musical forces in the world. As of 2020, his cumulative streams eclipse 2 billion in total as he regularly averages 20 million monthly listeners on Spotify.
