Legendary DJ and producer Nicky Romero debuts on Univeral Music Group with progressive-pop crossover Nights With You.
Having shaped electronic dance music since 2010, Nicky Romero is surely one of the most known artists in the scene. With his more than 5 million monthly listeners on Spotify and several hundred of millions of streams worldwide, Nicky Romero has decided to go even further with his career signing his first track with Univeral Music Group.
The team at Universal Music has been thoughtful and flexible in the way they look after artists in 2020, particularly in dance music. I feel like they understand me as an artist and don’t attempt to put a box around creativity. I’m really excited about this partnership between our brands and look forward to what I know we’ll accomplish together – Nicky Romero about the new partnership with Universal Music.
Nights With You is a progressive-pop-radio-friendly crossover that mixes downtempo percussive beat with soft and intimate melodic lines. On top of that, an incredible vocal completes the track for the perfect radio hit. Opening with a piano solo, Nights With You delivers soulful vocals and gently undulating basslines that meld into soaring cinematic acoustic strings. The song’s organic and raw style compliments lyrics like “I’ll hold you like I know you were mine,” making for a wistful and cathartic experience that will hit you right in the feels.
‘Nights With You‘ is a song I have loved from the very first moment I finished the demo. We went through many versions of this record, but when the acoustic strings came in, I knew instantly we had something special. Sometimes, to get the best results and bring out the magic, certain elements of a track need to be preserved as raw. Partnering with Universal on this release is also exciting news, and I’m looking forward to the upcoming edits and remixes we have planned for ‘Nights With You‘. – Nicky Romero about Nights With You.
This is not the first time Nicky Romero goes more “commercial” and radio-friendly. His incredible talent in the studio has brought Nicky to constantly evolving his sound releasing over the year tunes that space from super energetic dancefloor anthems to underground-deep records to end up, like in this case, to something more intimate and pop.
The tune, which is out now and can be download here, includes a magnificent music video you can find below.
