Something alchemical happens when two musical worlds collide—especially when those worlds belong to Oliver Smith and Susie Ledge. Their latest single, Love Is A Feeling, out now on Anjunabeats, is a shimmering slice of melodic house & techno that blends heartfelt songwriting with club-ready energy. It’s a track that doesn’t just drop—it soars.
Oliver Smith isn’t just a mainstay of the Anjunabeats roster; he is Anjunabeats royalty. As the first artist ever signed to the label, he’s spent the last two decades shaping the sound of modern progressive and trance. With over 20 million streams to his name, Smith’s discography is rich with gems like Lovingly, Warehouse, and Be Alone. He’s also one of the rare few to mix an entire Anjunabeats Worldwide compilation—WW08—with ten original productions, a feat that topped iTunes dance charts around the globe.
Fresh off the Be Kind Rewind EP with Andrew Bayer, and hot on the trail of singles like Rely On Me and Breathe, Oliver continues his sonic evolution with Footprints—his debut studio album dropping May 2nd. Love Is A Feeling is one of the key emotional anchors of that project.
Enter Susie Ledge: a dynamic vocalist and songwriter whose lush, emotive delivery has graced records from Le Youth, Cosmic Gate, Miss Monique, and many more. Her ethereal vocals have been supported by trance legends such as Armin van Buuren, Markus Schulz, and Ferry Corsten, and have appeared on BBC Radio 1. On Love Is A Feeling, she brings pure soul to Smith’s refined production.
Clocking in at 128 bpm, Love Is A Feeling is a beautifully restrained rollercoaster of emotion and groove. The track opens with atmospheric pads and pulsating arps, gradually layering into a hypnotic rhythm that’s equal parts subtle and cinematic. Susie’s vocals glide through the arrangement like moonlight over ocean waves—delicate yet powerful, soft yet commanding.
Oliver’s production is as clean as ever. The percussion is tight, the synths glide like silk, and the melodic progression keeps you floating without ever losing the groove. There’s a sense of quiet urgency in the track—a kind of emotional tension that builds without breaking, making it perfect for both late-night headphone sessions and peak-time DJ sets.
