When a rising force in trance meets one of the genre’s most iconic voices, sparks are bound to fly. That’s exactly what happens on “Set A Fire”, the powerful first-time collaboration between Japanese producer Rinaly and British singer-songwriter Christina Novelli. Out now on Black Hole Recordings, the track delivers an emotional yet club-ready statement that not only showcases the best of both artists but also sets the stage for Rinaly’s highly anticipated debut album “Ecliptica” this October.
For the past few years, Rinaly has been making waves with her unique blend of uplifting melodies and precise, driving production. Hailing from Japan, she’s become one of the most exciting female names in trance, championed for her energetic sets and a string of standout releases including “Running” with Julie Thompson and “Echo” with Cari. “Set A Fire” acts as the final single before her debut album, closing the prelude to what promises to be a defining moment in her career.
On the vocal side, Christina Novelli needs little introduction. From her breakthrough with Gareth Emery on “Concrete Angel” to countless collaborations across trance, progressive, and house, she has become one of the most distinctive and in-demand voices in electronic music. With her ability to inject both vulnerability and strength into her lyrics, Christina brings “Set A Fire” to life with emotional storytelling that resonates deeply.
The track itself is pure uplifting trance magic. Rinaly builds the foundation with crisp drum patterns and a steady pulse, layering synth progressions that rise with precision and intensity. As the track unfolds, Christina’s atmospheric vocals cut through, painting a picture of resilience and longing. “Here we are, back at the start… you’re in my bloodstream” – her words echo that timeless push and pull between love, dependency, and the will to break free. The production lifts each phrase into the sky, creating a euphoric release that’s tailor-made for peak-time dancefloors yet rich in emotional depth.
Speaking about the track, Rinaly explains: “Set A Fire is a powerful collaboration with Christina Novelli, and it holds a special place in my heart. Her hauntingly beautiful vocals ignite deep emotions, telling a story of resilience – about finding the strength to keep moving forward after heartbreak.” That balance of pain, strength, and hope is exactly what makes the track resonate.
With “Set A Fire”, Rinaly not only delivers a stunning single but also raises expectations for her debut album to sky-high levels. Christina’s contribution ensures the track will stand among the most memorable vocal trance releases of the year – a true anthem of empowerment wrapped in an uplifting 138 BPM journey.
