Armin Van Buuren - Shivers (artist album)

ARMIN VAN BUUREN GIVES 'SHIVERS' NEW ARTIST ALBUM DUE AUGUST 8 ON ARMADA MUSIC

The new artist album from Armin Van Buuren is SHIVERS, due out August 8 on Armada Music. This is Armin's second artist album (his debut artist album 76 was released in 2003 and was nominated for a Dancestar Award for "Best Debut Album") and features a variety of guest vocalists and producers including Dutch celebrity pianist and composer Jan Vayne, former Genesis (post-Phil Collins) singer Ray Wilson and Justine Suissa, who collaborated with Armin on his smash hit single from 2004, "Burned With Desire."

Shivers was recorded over the last two years primarily in Amsterdam, San Francisco (with Gabriel & Dresden), Miami (with Markus Schulz and Mic Burns) and New York (with Nadia Ali of iio). The first single from Shivers is the title track and it's already making its mark on the international trance scene and as a Top 40 hit (Armin's fifth) in his native Holland. Other songs on the album of note are "Serenity" which will be the official anthem of Sensation White, the world's largest indoor rave, and "Golddigger" featuring the luscious vocals of Rosemary's Sons' Martijn Hagens.

"Shivers is a major step for me into full songwriting," says Armin. "I was a co-writer on most of the lyrics and was able to work in a variation of styles. Trance will always be the main thing but it brings a different element when you collaborate with artists. It requires more attention to song structure than instrumental tracks. This is a work I'm extremely proud of."

Complete track listing is as follows:

1. Wall Of Sound (feat. Justine Suissa)

2. Empty State (feat. Mic Burns)

3. Shivers

4. Golddigger (feat. Martijn Hagens)

5. Zocalo (feat. Gabriel & Dresden)

6. Gypsy (feat. Ray Wilson)

7. Who Is Watching (feat. Nadia Ali)

8. Bounce Back (feat. Remy & Roland Klinkenberg)

9. Control Freak

10. Serenity (feat. Jan Vayn)

Yes, this is quite the gay(est)ous event.

I'll probably get it.

I quite like Zocalo, and the collaberation with Remy & Roland Klinkenberg should be interesting. Not sure about another Justine track, I personally thought BWD was utterly gay. But we shall see.

*shrug*, no harm in checking it out. But honestly, Phil Collins? rofl.

Yeah...I'll check it out...

Empty state is the best thing he's made in awhile, it still needs a remix to de-trance it tho

Posted by iammesol on Jul-09-2005 01:00:

this is quite amusing

only thing that looks appealing to me is ZoCalo

Posted by Cobalt on Jul-09-2005 02:29:

Just me, or are some of the track names terribly suggestive of a bad album?

"Wall of Sound", "Empty State", "Golddigger", "Who is Watching?"

Read it again.

I might get it actually. I really like serenity,and shivers. depends if i have enough money though.

Posted by Night Stalker on Jul-10-2005 05:39:

although judging by my signature, i think its obvious that my views/feeling about this album will be quite biased! lol

I think this production is gonna own!

Posted by The Drow on Jul-10-2005 17:06:

I dislike shivers and I never heard serenity...
I would like to hear the rest of the tracks.
So I'll consider to buy it if it ever gets to Israel

Posted by medinaM5 on Jul-10-2005 17:07:

not a fan of shivers or serenity...cd shud be mediocre at best

Posted by ctprincess on Jul-10-2005 17:30:

how many threads do we need about this frickin' cd?

shivers - crap-o-la
serenity - crap-o-la deux
zocalo - promising, but nothing spectacular
empty state - needs a remix - badly

the only good thing is at least armin is trying some new sounds based on zocalo and empty state.

If the man thinks song writing for trance is difficult then he never wants letting out again.
