As much as I say I don’t dig trance music, after listening to Allure‘s latest single “On The Wire” I may be on the fence with the this sub entity of the dance music genre. Then again, it may just be my major crush on English singer/songwriter Christian Burns, who is the featured vocalist on this track. Christian Burns might not be a household name here in the States but back in 2000, Burns’ band BBMak made a splash with their sole hit U.S. single “Back Here,” which peaked at #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Since the band broke up in 2003, Burns has been keeping busy, moving altogether away from pop/rock into the drastically different dance/trance arena. In recent years Burns has collaborated with big names in the industry, including Benny Benassi, BT, Richard Durand, Armin Van Buuren, David Guetta, Matt Darey, Sebastian Ingrosso, Dirty South and Tiësto (listen to “In The Dark“). In addition to his collaborative work, Burns is also front lining his own electro-rock band called The Bleach Works, with an album due out sometime next year.
“On The Wire” is a new single taken from Allure‘s (AKA one of Tiësto‘s pseudonyms) new album Kiss From The Past and it’s a hot one. Boasting hot remixes from David Amo & Julio Navas, Jonas Stenberg, Matthew Nagle, Chris de Seed & Ivan Dulava and Dennis Sheperd, this is a dance package that you’ve got to get your hands on ASAP. Check out the stunning Christopher Andrew-directed clip below and download it on U.S. iTunes HERE and Beatport HERE. Leave it to a sexy Brit to get me hooked on trance.
