2014 was a great year for EDM providing us with some absolute classics and ‘Lovers On The Sun’ stands among the best songs to come out that year. This track from two of the biggest powerhouses in music, David Guetta and Avicii, would have huge success in the charts reaching the number one spot in the official top 40 in 4 countries. It has gone on to become an icon of electronic music much like the names behind making it.
Though uncredited on the record, Avicii co-produced ‘Lovers On The Sun’ alongside David Guetta which would be their second collaboration following on from their timeless hit ‘Sunshine’ which earned them a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Recording. Both of them would continue to have huge success over the next few years including Avicii releasing his first album ‘True’ where he would pioneer his ground-breaking mix of country and electronic music. When it came to them pairing back up for ‘Lovers On The Sun’, it’s clear that the Swedish DJ brought along this new style to inject into the track.
The blending of styles on this track is nothing short of perfection as it effortlessly switches between a country vibe that would feel at home in a cowboy film to going full on EDM in the choruses. The guitar melody is simply unforgettable, and the vocals provided by Sam Martin really elevate the track to the next level. With the sheer talent on this record, it was always destined to be a classic and it certainly didn’t fail in that as 10 years on from its release we’re still listening to this gem from the golden era of EDM.
