A Belgian Powerhouse Collaboration: Amelie Lens and Angèle Unveil ‘Run’
Techno titan Amelie Lens has tapped into the pop sensibilities of fellow Belgian icon Angèle for her latest musical venture. The resulting single, titled “Run,” serves as a high-profile bridge between the underground club scene and mainstream artistry. You can experience the track in its entirety below.
The Centerpiece of the ‘AURA’ Era
This collaboration stands as a pivotal moment for Lens, acting as a key highlight on her highly anticipated debut studio album, ‘AURA’. Scheduled for a September 4th release through her own imprint, EXHALE, the project marks a significant milestone in her career. Fans got their first taste of the chemistry between the two artists when they debuted the song live during a high-energy set at Belgium’s Dour Festival this past July.
Mutual Artistic Respect
The synergy between the two performers is palpable. For Lens, the decision to feature a guest was highly selective. “Angèle’s voice was the only one I could imagine on this track,” Lens explained. “I have been such a fan of hers for so long; I think she’s a truly special talent, and that’s why she’s the only other artist and only collaboration on my whole album.”
Angèle reciprocated the sentiment, citing a profound respect for Lens’s command of the stage. Reflecting on the experience, she recalled the visceral reaction she had while watching Lens perform at Glastonbury last year, noting that the set gave her “goosebumps.” She expressed genuine excitement about finally bringing their creative visions together for this project.
A Decade of Evolution
‘AURA’ arrives at a reflective time for the producer, landing roughly ten years after her initial foray into music production. The album builds upon the momentum of previously unveiled tracks, including the atmospheric ‘our frequency’ and the driving rhythm of ‘whatever you do’.
Beyond the production, the album is notable for featuring Lens’s own vocal contributions, showcasing her growth as a multi-faceted artist. As the electronic music landscape continues to evolve-with industry benchmarks like the Top 100 DJs rankings highlighting the global influence of artists like Lens-this debut album serves as a definitive statement of her artistic identity.
