Wrong Direction

 Haillee Steinfeld

* Was this song was written about her ex and singer Niall Horan?

* And the lyrics of the song gave me a feeling that Hailee is accusing someone of cheating.

 Alone, PT. II

 Alan Walker / Ava Max

*  The follow up to Norwegian Alan Walker’s smash Alone has required a team up with IN THE STUDIO’s favourite Ava Max – and what a sequel this is to the first track which was released back in 2016.

* Ava is also releasing new music starting with Salt which we played last year, and another single this week On Somebody which is a more mellow song. Great if you want to belt out a few notes in the shower!

 Hold On (feat Michel Zitron)

Martin Garrix / Matisse & Sadko

* Martin Garrix was voted #1 DJ in the DJ Mag Top 100 three consecutive years. Things don’t look like they’re slowing down for him either, as he recently hinted at a Zedd collaboration.

* Garrix and Matisse slash Sadko have been working on collabs for a long time now – so it seemed only fitting to take out the new year with a final collab much to my delight.

* This is a festival banger – and really progressive too.
