There are perfect pairings in music, and the collaboration between Aaron Hibell and Alex Wann exemplifies that with their new single “set me free.” The track, which is the second release from Hibell’s highly anticipated debut album, generated buzz leading up to its launch. The excitement only grew with live performances from RÜFÜS DU SOL and Adriatique, as well as its feature as the official single for the Ultra Music Festival 2024 aftermovie, garnering extensive attention for “set me free.”
This collaboration is timely, showcasing a vibrant Afro House sound that aligns with the genre’s recent accomplishments, such as Keinemusik’s “Move” and the recent hit “I Adore You” by HUGEL, Topic, Arash, and Daecolm.
“I love this song because it perfectly blends my style with Alex’s,” Hibell expressed on Instagram.
The classically trained producer’s combination of trance and orchestral elements complements Wann’s rhythmic Afro House approach, known for his impressive “Milkshake” remix that electrified the dance scene last summer and earned him recognition as a Dancing Astronaut 2024 Artist to Watch.
“set me free” serves as the second energetic taste of Hibell’s upcoming album, following the reveal of the lead single, “morning light,” in late August. The quality and richness of the early tracks hint at a remarkable dance/electronic album poised to stand out, especially with its release through Astralwerks.
