Audien is back! After years of anticipation since his 2019 debut album Escapism, the GRAMMY-nominated producer releases First Love. This sophomore album is his most personal project to date and features collaborations with Skylar Grey, MAKJ, ARTY, TELYKAST, Shallou, Julia Church, and more.
A champion of progressive house Audien captures nostalgia, bliss and euphoric dancefloor energy across the 12 track album. The heartfelt lyricism soars with the pristine vocals and lush production crafting an emotional journey of the highs and lows through life. While the collection of tracks tells stories of relationships, for Audien, they are about his real first love: music. Audien shares:
First Love is a collection of songs that helped me through the last few years of my life. It’s wild to create something that ends up healing you in the process. This album is a love letter to everyone who’s stuck with me and to my first love, dance music. I’d be nothing without you.”
First Love is filled to the brim with fan-favorite singles such as ““Bittersweet,” “One More Thing,” “Slide Away,” “Lose It All,” “It’s Okay,” and “Love Again.” But the capstone is held by standout single “Make Me Forget” featuring Skylar Grey. The track serves as the opening of the album and captures the essence of the whole journey: Audien’s signature progressive house sound weaved through melodic storytelling and raw emotion.
Audien is currently on tour in the US. Be sure to catch him at upcoming shows in Portland, Houston, Costa Mesa, Seattle, New York, San Bernardino, Chicago, and more. Tickets and more information can be found at www.audiendj.com.
