We used some live guitar and bass sounds with a rock influence and mixed them with electronic sounds and amazing vocals by KiFi. You can expect more of those vibes on my next songs – Belong with Axwell, Breathing Deeper, Some People, The Way and Chasing Shadows. I love to make big emotional sounds and melodies, it’s a bright part of me. With Light Up The World it was amazing to work with AVIAN GRAYS and KiFi to make this great symbiosis between us.” – Shapov.
