Don Diablo is undoubtedly one of the most loved music producers of all time and his fans are the reason behind his massive success. Fans have been patiently waiting for Don Diablo’s album to drop and it’s finally here. His newest album, named ‘ FUTURE ‘ is finally released and is full of grooving tracks that Don is famous for. It is surely going to be one of the favourites for 2018.
“These last few years have been quite a journey for me on all levels. I had to fight many demons on a personal level and rediscovered myself as an artist in the process. I never thought I would end up where I am today, but on my journey I have learned and experienced many things that I have (subconsciously) used while working on this album.
“FUTURE features sixteen tracks that all have their own story, both musically as well as lyrically. I wanted this to be a motivational record that sonically showcases new ideas on a productional level, ranging from Future House to Future Pop and everything in between. I feel blessed to have worked with some of the most incredible new voices out there like James Newman, Nina Nesbitt, Betty Who, Calum Scott and many others. To me, they represent the FUTURE and their talent is a very important part of this album.
“Besides this I also provided my own vocals to three of the songs on FUTURE, which definitely makes this album one of the most personal things I have done in a long time. After releasing many singles and remixes these last few years it feels amazing to finally be able to present a real body of work to my fans (and hopefully FUTURE fans) again. Having said that…I am as inspired as I have ever been so the next album will definitely not take another six to ten years.”
The album includes 16 tracks and each track represents a phase in Don’s life , a story is connected with each track talking about his career or the milestones he achieved over the years. The album opens with ‘ Back To Us ‘ featuring vocals from Mike Waters giving it a perfect Hypnotic energy. Moving forward, the track which has gained heavy appreciation from the fans is named ‘ Everybody’s Somebody ‘ featuring BullySongs . The track is not what Don Diablo usually Sounds like , speaking about it he said :
“I have been getting so many letters from fans that literally feel lost in this world. When they tell me my music gives them comfort and shines a light in a dark tunnel inside their head it literally makes everything I do worth while. Sometimes it feels like the outside world wants you to act a certain way, look a certain way and this can put a lot of pressure on your shoulders. Others may appear to be better looking and more successful, which can create dark clouds in your head. This single is an anthem for those who are searching for their identity and the statement is simple: everybody’s somebody, nobody’s nobody. Life is not about what others expect you to be, or what you feel you might never achieve, it’s about accepting who YOU truly are and being proud of your own personal achievements.”
The album gets soulful and house-y, bright and poppy, funky and futuristic as ever with some killer vocal work from Nina Nesbitt, Calum Scott, Betty Who, James Newman, Miles Graham, Holly Winter, Dave Thomas Junior, Paije, and a killer feature from A R I Z O N A. The 16 track album is very special for the fans as well as Don Diablo also gave his voice to three of those 16 tracks. This newfound confidence in the producer is sure going to do wonders for him.
