Martin Garrix & Carolina Liar Release Summer Anthem "Smile"

Martin Garrix’s contender for Song of the Summer is here! His brand new indie meets pop/dance single ‘’Smile’’ features the vocals of Carolina Liar, who is also known for being a part of The Federal Empire.

The song made its grand debut during Garrix's four sold-out shows at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, where Carolina Liar joined him on stage for three unforgettable live performances.

Carolina Liar shares more about the creation process of the song: “Smile” is the only way I can describe my emotions when I think about the creation of this song. I got my band name, Carolina Liar because no one would believe where my life takes me, and this is one of those moments. Within 72 hours, we recorded the song at a legendary Sunset Strip recording studio and embarked on a road trip from Hollywood to Vegas while shooting the music video with a temperamental vintage car that died, leaving the film crew stranded in the desert. Somehow, they made it in time to capture the Friday night live show. We danced through two of Martin’s shows and finished the adventure with Martin sitting in with Zedd at Omnia. Honestly, we could have made a movie out of all the adventures in those three days. I can’t listen to the song without smiling from the memories surrounding its creation!’’

With its uplifting melodies and feel-good lyrics, "Smile" is the perfect soundtrack for summer. The song's message, centered around doing "anything to make you smile," offers plenty of room for personal interpretation.

This release marks another successful collaboration between Garrix and Carolina Liar, who previously teamed up on "Hold On & Believe." The official music video, releasing in a couple

of days, features both artists in a story arch that has them hitchhiking to make it to their Las Vegas performance on time.

  DubVision:’'When we were in the studio with Martin to work on the foundation of ﻿    ﻿''Wherever You Are’’, he got super excited and insisted on playing this at Ultra Music ﻿    ﻿﻿    ﻿festival.

The 4 of us worked day and night to finish it on time, and we’re super ﻿    ﻿ ﻿    ﻿happy with the result.’’

  Shaun Farrugia:’'Wherever You Are'' is more than just a song. It's the feeling so many of us feel inside our hearts, gives us purpose, and remembers the ones we've lost along the way. I feel so honoured to be back working with my brothers Marty and the DubVision boys. A song which started on a video call took us to Amsterdam, worked on as we crossed the Atlantic, and finished hours before Ultra Miami. I can't wait for you all to hear it.‘’

It was only a few weeks ago we decided to finish the song, and when we did, we couldn’t stop adding stuff to it.

Now with the added euphoric vocals by Oaks and Declan J Donovan, we can’t be more excited to release it!’’

Oaks : ’’This world can be a really cruel and lonely place sometimes. I know how it feels trying to find your way with an unbearable weight on your shoulders. That’s why I love ”Carry You” so much, because it feels like a warm hug to me. It makes me think of all the beautiful people that helped me through the darkness, all the shoulders that held up my world. This song reminds me of how safe you can feel in someone’s arms and how, with only their presence, they can make you forget about your pain for a moment. Me and Martin had been talking back and forth about working together for a long time, so I was very excited when he invited me to come to Amsterdam last year. I really loved writing this with him, he’s such a talented and genuine soul and his energy is extremely contagious. I’m so happy to be a part of this track together with all these incredible musicians - I hope the world will love it as much as we do!’’

Declan J Donovan: ‘’Working with Martin has been a dream! Funny story how we met: I went to Amsterdam for my birthday in 2022 with some friends and while we were out for dinner I bumped into Martin! We got chatting then spent the next two days hanging out and making music together. It’s an honor to be featured on “Carry You﻿” and I’m buzzing to get it out into the world!’’

I’m super stoked to finally release this one!” 

Mega-producers Martin Garrix and DallasK join forces with acclaimed singer-songwriter Sasha Alex Sloan on the melodic new single “Loop,”  released via Astralwerks. Throbbing with emotion, the infectious track is an anthem for anyone who’s ever been unable to break free from an endless cycle of break-ups and make-ups.

As she moves through the busy streets and colorful clubs of Las Vegas, she encounters Garrix and DallasK on the dreamy journey. But each time the night seems at an end, she finds herself back where she started and the evening begins again, leaving her hopelessly stuck in a loop.

“I have been playing this song in my sets for quite some time now and the crowds’ responses have been great. I loved working with Dallas and I’m super stoked to finally release this one!”

DallasK adds, “‘Loop’ is the long-time coming collaboration between Martin Garrix and myself. We met forever ago and I remixed his single ‘in the name of love’ in 2016. It’s a deeper song for both of us, topped with the unmistakable vocal of Sasha Alex Sloan, one of my favorite collaborators, who always brings her unique perspective to any song she writes.

‘If We’ll Ever Be Remembered’, the second release on the album with Shaun Farrugia’s vocals, is the deserving capstone of ‘Sentio’. The radio-friendly track can surely be expected to blast everywhere throughout the summer of ’22.

‘’I was sitting on so much club music, and after the lockdowns, it felt like people wanted to party and get their spirits lifted again. The album features some radio-friendly songs, but it’s mostly the more aggressive Garrix club sound. I didn’t want people to have to wait for the high-quality versions after Ultra for too long, which is why we decided to drop them weekly after the set. I’m super excited all the tracks are finally out for everyone to listen to. My first album is a fact!’’

The final song of my album Sentio is out now and it's called If We'll Ever Be Remembered together with Shaun Farrugia!

The long-awaited and highly requested collaboration

‘Follow’ is a true club banger and marks the perfect start of the ’22 festival season, while also setting the tone for what Garrix will have in store this year.

The release is accompanied by an official music video that showcases a high paced energetic visual that features both artists.

Maintaining a close friendship over the last couple of years, the collaboration has been long overdue with Garrix and Zedd talking about doing a song together for nine years.

Fans who attended Garrix’s show at Lollapalooza Chile last week were in for a treat, while he premiered the track while FaceTiming Zedd. 

After being friends for over 10 years it was about time Zedd and I released our first song called Follow, which is out now on STMPD RCRDS!

Just in time for the end of the year, Martin Garrix is back with a treat to kick off the Holiday Season with a bang, releasing his long-awaited collaboration with Matisse & Sadko and John Martin: ‘Won’t Let You Go’.

Played as the opening track of his first sets after the pandemic, including Electric Love and Creamfields, the track quickly became a fan favorite. Proven to be a golden combination before, Garrix is teaming up with both Matisse & Sadko and John Martin again. Garrix already worked with Matisse & Sadko on classics such as ‘Together’, ‘Hold On’ and ‘Forever’, while John Martin joined him on ‘Higher Ground’ and ‘ Now That I’ve Found You’. 

Combining the best of all worlds, Garrix and Matisse & Sadko’s production signatures perfectly blend with John Martin’s heartfelt vocals while the lyrics talk about not ever letting go of the one you love the most. The euphoric hook gives ‘Won’t Let You Go’ a massive festival feel which is exactly where it deserves to be played.

AREA21 have released their long-awaited debut album Greatest Hits Vol. 1. The album is a culmination of not only the 12 songs written, produced and performed by acclaimed DJ/producer Martin Garrix and Producer/songwriter Maejor, who between them have worked with some of music’s biggest artists including Bono, G-Eazy, Justin Bieber, Dua Lipa and Khalid, but also a global visual project in the form of a series of videos by award-winning animation studio Titmouse, Inc. (Dua Lipa, Run the Jewels) which took 9 months to complete, with work by 60 artists from 10 countries. This album also marks the first album release by AREA21 co-creator Garrix. 

Maejor: ‘’It was really important for us to have a full body of work because there’s so much stylistic range on the album. I feel like if we had the pressure to compress it into something smaller, it wouldn’t have worked.’'

Martin Garrix: ‘’I’ve never released this many songs before at the same time, so I’m nervous about it. But that nervousness gets overshadowed by excitement, adrenaline and passion. This project means so much to us both musically and conceptually. I’ve had some of the best moments of my life working on these songs and we can’t wait to finally share them with the world.’’

Over the past 9 months, AREA21 have released a series of songs and videos detailing the interstellar adventures of Garrix and Maejor’s alien alter egos, M & M, with a narrative that tackled some of life’s biggest questions and transformed them into music that’s thought-provoking and relatable. In fact, it was M & M who inspired the album title.  Notes Maejor, “When the aliens first came to Earth, all of their favorite albums had the title ‘Greatest Hits.’ They didn’t know you were supposed to have many albums out before you made a greatest hits album.” Greatest Hits Vol. 1  includes previous releases such as “La La La,” “Lovin’ Every Minute,” “Own The Night” and “Followers,” but also sends 6 brand new tracks into the stratosphere including the lead single and latest in the series of animated videos ‘Time Machine.’

In ‘Time Machine’ they contemplate going back to relive simple moments of their youth, but in the end realize that enjoying life in the moment is most important. The video mirrors this sentiment with a wistful look back at alien travelers M & M’s early years as well as a recap of their journey so far here on earth and features the characters they’ve met along the way including a Marvel-style group shot at the end as the M & M spaceship takes off.  Where they’re headed will be revealed in the next chapter. Stay tuned.

Our debut album Greatest Hits Vol. 1 is out now and we hope you enjoy it!

So we're runnin' down the streets singing la la

In “Own The Night,” written by real life artists Martin Garrix and Maejor,  the alien duo have found their way to Hollywood and as portrayed in the video, are struck by the many masks that humans put on to conform to society’s norm. The track is incredibly catchy, but also carries a sense of social awareness, which is exactly what AREA21 are trying to transmit through their music.

Martin Garrix, Julian Jordan & Tinie Tempah

"I’m really happy we finally get to release this one!’’

Martin Garrix has teamed up with fellow DJ/producer Julian Jordan and British rapper Tinie for his first club banger in almost a year: ‘Diamonds ’. While experimenting with a lot of different sounds the past year, Garrix reassured fans that he was still working on hard-hitting festival music, but was waiting to get back on stage to release these. After premiering ‘Diamonds’ at his first show in 1,5 years, the song caused a major buzz on social media and quickly found itself among the most anticipated IDs from his set.

Starting as a first demo between Jordan and Garrix, the latter proposed to also include Tinie on the track. 

Julian Jordan: ‘’While working on ‘Diamonds’ I got a call from Martijn in the middle of the night; he had the idea of putting Tinie on the track. I rushed to his house and we finished the demo together that night. A few weeks later Tinie came to Amsterdam to record the vocals and the session was so much fun. 

Diamonds is a track that is all about energy, something fresh and new but definitely made for huge crowds. Combine all of this with Tinie’s infectious vocals and a banger is born.’’

Tinie’s rousing raps perfectly complement the hard-hitting energy of the track that marks Garrix’s grand entrance back to the festivals. 

Tinie: "The most precious stones that shine the brightest, come from the darkest places and under the most pressurised conditions. This is the essence behind the lyrics and production that Martin, Julian and I have worked on for 'Diamonds' and have applied to many records over the years. I'm so excited for the world to hear what we have been cooking up."

Martin Garrix: ‘’I missed being on stage so much, and finally playing this track in front of a crowd during my first shows in almost two years felt insane. To also have both Julian and Tinie join me on stage to perform the track was so special. I’m really happy we finally get to release this one!’’

The accompanying music video (which will premiere around 2PM CEST today) displays the festival energy the track breathes, with artistic live performance moments from various festivals including Creamfields and Untold Festival shot on film. Delivering the heat as promised, ‘Diamonds’ was surely worth the wait. 

Diamonds with Julian Jordan and Tinie is out now and it feels great to play this one at my shows!

"What you gonna do when your followers gone"

Detailed in AREA21’s music and visuals, the alien characters M & M have been able to observe humans both from a distance and up close. With the song ‘’Followers’’ they talk about the benefit of living life in real-time instead of becoming mesmerized by their devices. 

Do you like yourself when you don’t have your phone

What you gonna do when your followers gone (oh no)

Maybe you will feel no stress when you don’t care what people say

Feeling good no need to pose (eh)’. – “Followers”

In the accompanying music video, AREA21 highlight the pressures that can come from living your life through social media and encourage everyone to look up and enjoy the world around them. 

With their previous release ‘’Lovin’ Every Minute,’’ which focused on living in the moment and the importance of human connection, it's starting to become more and more evident that these alien travelers have a message to get across to us humans. 

Our new song Followers it out now, enjoy the music video!

The cover art features light passing from alien to human and represents uplifting another by a simple touch, “With your energy and spirit, you can change someone’s mood just by how you treat them” noted AREA21.  Meanwhile the video takes a look at how M & M are loving every minute of their time here on Earth and hints at what’s ahead for the duo.

The video details M & M’s journey so far – from their accidental crash in the Nevada desert, being chased by the ominous Lady T to partying in Vegas and floating through the Louvre in Paris.  There’s even a hint at what’s to come.

With more songs and videos to come, AREA21 is running at full speed towards their debut album releasing this fall. Since the release of new music in April, AREA21 has amassed over 29M combined streams and a combined social imprint of over 42M.

I’ve known Gerald since forever, so it was about time for us to release a song together.

August 6, 2021 - Hot on the heels of his official UEFA Euro 2020 track ‘We Are The People’ with Bono and The Edge, Martin Garrix is releasing another big collaboration today. ‘Love Runs Out’ sees him join forces with multi-platinum recording artist and producer G-Eazy and singer-songwriter Sasha Alex Sloan. 

Exploring a different sound once again, ‘Love Runs Out’ is a fresh hip-hop track with a melodic hook and emotional lyrics that are instantly captivating. G-Eazy’s melodic and catchy signature hip-hop sound and Sloan’s mysterious and sultry vocals perfectly blend in with Garrix’s production where all three artists shine in their own way.

Martin Garrix: ‘’I’ve known Gerald since forever, so it was about time for us to release a song together. Sasha has an amazing voice, and she really completed the track. It’s a different sound for me, so I hope you guys like it!’’

'Love Runs Out’ addresses the feeling of being afraid your love story will fade out at one point, with G-Eazy and Sloan questioning whether there would still be something left to mend when they fall out of love. 

What if one day we wake up and don’t feel like we do now

What if one day we wake up and we both want something else

My new song Love Runs Out featuring G=Eazy and Sasha Alex Sloan is out now! Very proud of this one and I hope you like it!

“Mona Lisa” is the latest in the series of music and video releases from AREA21, the multimedia collaboration between Martin Garrix and Maejor portrayed through the eyes of aliens ‘M&M’. 

After their adventures in Vegas, the accompanying video for ‘Mona Lisa’, produced by award-winning animation studio ‘Titmouse’, takes the viewer along on a trip with the aliens to the Louvre in Paris. Floating through outer space, we see their point of view looking down at the flashing lights of cities on earth. 

In the lyrics of the song, the two alien travelers highlight all the things they want with several of these scenarios passing by in the video as well.
