Tiësto has announced a new album.
He also released its lead single, “Bring Me To Life.”
Together, these moves signal a long-awaited return to the trance sound that first lifted his career almost 30 years ago.
In the early 2000s, the Dutch electronic music pioneer built a global following with trance staples like “Adagio for Strings” and “Lethal Industry.”
He later shifted toward commercial house and dance-pop, a move that brought major mainstream success.
However, many longtime fans continued to hope he would revisit the style that first defined him.
The release of “Bring Me To Life” didn’t come out of nowhere.
It arrived after a mysterious social media campaign that had fans guessing.
Especially when Tiësto brought back an old logo from his 1999 Innercity Amsterdam performance.
This sparked heavy speculation across the EDM community.
The track itself delivers a classic trance rush, blending trembling synth lines with atmospheric vocals from Swedish singer-songwriter FORS.
Her lyrics dig into the emotional aftermath of a powerful connection.
She describes the struggle of trying to feel alive again, as if she’s trapped in a body that still remembers what once was.
