Spotlight: Alesso Returns with “Fight For Love”
Swedish progressive house icon Alesso has teamed up with vocalist Kaitlin Aragon for his latest single, Fight For Love. The track serves as a masterclass in melodic dance production, blending soaring synths with Aragon’s emotive vocal performance.
Fans may recognize the melody; Alesso teased the track during his high-octane set at Ultra Japan this past September, where it quickly became a fan favorite. This release continues a busy year for the producer, following his recent collaboration with OneRepublic, In Your Eyes, and his two-track The One EP, which dropped via Body Hi and Tomorrowland Music this past August.
Kaitlin Aragon is also building significant momentum. Having recently lent her voice to projects with industry heavyweights like Kaskade and GLOCKENBACH on the track Runaway, her partnership with Alesso marks another milestone in her rising career. Fight For Love is poised to be a staple in festival sets throughout the remainder of the year, proving that the melodic house sound remains as influential as ever in the current electronic climate.
