The name Oliver Smith is practically synonymous with Anjunabeats. As the label’s first-ever signing and a staple in the Above & Beyond camp, Smith has continuously refined his sound, evolving from his early trance roots into a more diverse, progressive, and melodically rich approach. His latest release, “Breathe”, featuring Californian singer-songwriter Midnite Amity, sees him embrace the Melodic House & Techno sphere, seamlessly blending his signature euphoric melodies with deep, driving rhythms.
At 128 BPM, “Breathe” offers a mesmerizing balance between melancholy and energy. From the outset, the track exudes warmth with its lush synth pads and rolling basslines, perfectly complementing Midnite Amity’s ethereal, emotive vocals. The progression is gradual but deliberate, drawing listeners into an almost meditative state before Oliver Smith unleashes his signature soaring lead melodies. The breakdown provides a poignant moment of reflection, with Midnite Amity’s vocal delivery carrying an air of yearning before the drop returns with a powerful, pulsating groove.
“Breathe” is the latest single from Oliver Smith’s debut studio album ‘Footprints’, which is set to drop on May 2nd via Anjunabeats. Following the success of his previous single “Rely On Me” with Tailor—a track that garnered support from Armin van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Giuseppe Ottaviani, Solarstone, Gabriel & Dresden, and more—this new offering further cements Smith’s versatility as a producer. He continues to push boundaries, incorporating Melodic House & Techno elements while staying true to the emotional depth that has defined his career.
For those who have followed Oliver Smith’s journey, “Breathe” is another testament to his ability to craft emotionally charged, club-ready anthems. His past releases, consistently praised by platforms like TranceAttack.net, have highlighted his skill in blending uplifting trance energy with progressive nuances. This track follows in that tradition but with an added hypnotic touch that makes it a standout in both the melodic house and trance communities.
