A Fusion of Worlds: Amelie Lens and Angèle Unveil ‘run’
Techno powerhouse Amelie Lens is bridging the gap between electronic underground and pop stardom with her latest project. The Belgian producer has officially confirmed that her upcoming single, “run,” a high-profile collaboration with fellow Belgian icon Angèle, is slated for an August 7th launch.
The track first surfaced in a moment of pure festival magic earlier this month. During Lens’ high-octane performance at Belgium’s Dour Festival, Angèle made an unannounced appearance, treating the crowd to a live preview of the record.
A Centerpiece for the ‘AURA’ Era
“Run” serves as a pivotal moment on Lens’ highly anticipated debut studio album, *AURA*. Scheduled for a September 4th release through her own imprint, EXHALE Records, the LP marks a significant milestone in her career. The album was initially teased back in May, accompanied by the release of the lead single, ‘our frequency’.
While the album explores various sonic textures, “run” stands out as the sole collaborative effort on the tracklist. It masterfully juxtaposes Angèle’s signature smooth, emotive vocal delivery against a backdrop of aggressive, high-tempo techno beats and futuristic, atmospheric synthesizers.
A Personal Milestone
For Lens, this release carries deep personal significance. During a conversation with DJ Mag at this year’s Tomorrowland, the producer revealed that the track holds a special place in her heart-she intends for it to be the very first piece of music her child hears upon her arrival later this year.
Fans eager to secure the album ahead of its September debut can pre-save the record here.
Celebrating the Release in Antwerp
The momentum surrounding *AURA* continues to build with a series of major announcements. Beyond the music, Lens is set to host a landmark open-air performance at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp. This unique event, organized in partnership with the City of Antwerp, serves as a grand celebration of the album’s arrival, cementing Lens’ status as a cultural force in her home country.
