Never doubt Martin Garrix. The STMPD RCRDS king repeatedly confirmed throughout the last year that in between releases that tapped into a more exploratory direction,—like “Pressure,” “Love Runs Out,” and the AREA21 album—he was still continuing to crank out productions that were better suited for the eventualy day he could stand in front of his iconic “T” structure again. It only took 60 minutes to convert that reassurance into reality in August, with Garrix debuting a pair of his own IDs—and three label ones—during his in-person reawakening at Austria’s Electric Love. Barely a month would pass before Garrix decided to give one of his two impending originals the green light, now writing in release number four beside one of his best friends Julian Jordan and recruiting an unexpected helping hand from the legend Tinie Tempah on “Diamonds.”“Diamonds” broke off as one of two A-lister-primed ventures from Garrix’s Electric Love finale, with the other being “Wide Awake” with both John Martin and Matisse & Sadko, which hopefully isn’t too far off as well. For Garrix and Jordan’s “Glitch” sequel, the Dutch duo decided to reset the clock back towards the more in-your-face, bigroom and electro house-angled demeanor from “BFAM,” their first-ever joint showing exactly eight years ago. Debatably Garrix’s most combative—for lack of a better word—cut under his own name since anything from his 2018 BYLAW EP, “Diamonds” mines towards another rich unearthing of Garrix and Jordan’s longstanding production synergy, with Tempah attaching a booming “Miami 2 Ibiza“-esque vocal that seals the answer of why the three reasonably branded their house-rap crossbred merger “Diamonds.”Featured image: Louis van BaarCategories: Music
