Tiësto is full of surprises these days, has released an energetic new music video to accompany his new track "Red Lights," the first taste of the Dutch DJ's upcoming as-yet untitled fifth full-length artist album, and it mark a departure from 45-year-old Tiësto's traditional trance sound. The track that perfectly blends the best elements of high energy house music and powerfully catchy pop, gives a great first look into what Tiësto is cooking up, a definite road trip anthem with a "drive fast and don't look back" mentality all wrapped up in a melodically light, happy-go-lucky package.
Tiësto has always been at the forefront of dance music, constantly staying ahead of the curve in the ever-changing and growing electronic music industry. Having recently partnered with Casablanca Records and Republic Records, Tiësto teases at his next big music move with "Red Lights," a reference to traffic markers, not another element popular in producer's homeland of the Netherlands. Always the trendsetter, icon DJ-producer sets the pace for the new sound of dance music with his "Red Lights," which is a let's-escape-the-world floor shaker and a mash up of house and pop. Th track certainly has the melodic hooks and riffs necessary to see similar success.
The beautiful blend of melodic harmonies, combined with the gritty, yet touching tone of the vocalist as he sings along, put together with the acoustic guitar riffs makes "Red Light" stand out on its own. No word on who the male vocalist featured on "Red Lights" is. The combination of both acoustic and electronic sounds combine to make this track unique and different. "Red Lights" is definitely a change of pace as one of electronic music's greats adjust to mainstream EDM. And this song is super infectious and catchy, as he derives rapturous results from candy-coated choruses, big builds, and glistening beats.
Instead of complaining about sound-alike tracks and pop music disguising itself as dance music, Tiësto and director Skinny have crafted a sexy Americana road trip with enough skin, tousled hair and euphoric nightlife energy to show EDM newbies how it's really done. The clip tells a story of two girls leaving their boring lives behind in favour of an epic spontaneous road trip that sees them hitch hike across the states, making it all the way by any means necessary to Las Vegas just in time for a Tiësto's gig at Hakkasan and they even manage to visit Grandma on the way.
