When three titans of the trance scene unite, expectations naturally soar—and “Not Letting You Go” delivers on every front. This powerhouse collaboration between Ciaran McAuley, Roger Shah, and Sue McLaren is a masterclass in Vocal Trance: euphoric, uplifting, and emotionally resonant.
Ciaran McAuley, the Irish producer known for his signature melodic touch and soul-stirring breakdowns, brings his driving energy to the table. His past works on labels like FSOE and Grotesque have cemented him as a go-to name for peak-time anthems with heart. Meanwhile, Roger Shah, the German trance veteran famous for his “Balearic” style and sun-drenched harmonics, injects the track with his unmistakable lush, orchestral layers. And then there’s Sue McLaren, one of the most revered voices in trance—whose collaborations with artists like Aly & Fila and Paul van Dyk have given the genre some of its most iconic vocal moments. Here, her voice is once again the emotional centerpiece.
“Not Letting You Go” sits at a crisp 138 bpm, balancing high energy with deep emotional pull. The opening builds gracefully, setting the stage with shimmering synths and cinematic pads. Sue McLaren’s hauntingly beautiful vocals take control as the drop approaches—her lyrics speak of resilience, longing, and unbreakable connection. The climax is pure release: soaring leads, layered textures, and a rhythm that feels both urgent and uplifting.
The production quality is exceptional—as expected from a Black Hole Recordings release. Every element is finely tuned to transport listeners into a state of trance, both literally and figuratively. Whether you’re on a dancefloor or wearing headphones in your room, this track hits with the same emotional force.

In short, “Not Letting You Go” is not just a collaboration; it’s a statement. It’s what happens when three artists, each masters in their own right, pour heart and craft into a unified vision. And for lovers of Vocal Trance, this one will stay on repeat.
