Folks, Axwell / Ingrosso have just dropped the 2018 summer anthem, so get ready. Axwell / Ingrosso’s new single “Dancing Alone” dropped today on Astrelwerks featuring the vocals of RØMANS and it’s my favorite song by them in a long time.

With some amazing covert art of an early 2000’s Paris Hilton looking rave ready, ‘Dancing Alone’ offers both a nod to the legacy and a glimpse at the future of electronic music. “Dancing Alone” continues the new trend of big name artists dropping summer time 90’s style house tunes. Building upon RØMANS’ emotive vocals in tandem with a catchy hook, the anthemic track effortlessly dives into a euphoric drop while maintaining Axwell / Ingrosso’s characteristic energy. “Dancing Alone” quickly became a favorite of fans after Axwell / Ingrosso introduced the song into their eclectic live sets, and now fans rejoice as we finally get its official release.

Listen to Axwell / Ingrosso feat. RØMANS – Dancing Alone below, and be ready to hear this song on every radio station for the next 8 weeks.

Axwell / Ingrosso feat. RØMANS – Dancing Alone

One Of The Duo’s Final Releases Before Their Hiatus

“Dancing Alone” ended up being one of the last major singles Axwell / Ingrosso released together before announcing a hiatus just two months later in August 2018, when Sebastian Ingrosso and Axwell shifted their focus back to reuniting Swedish House Mafia with Steve Angello. Looking back, this track’s 90’s house-inspired throwback sound feels almost like a preview of the retro dance revival Swedish House Mafia leaned into during their own comeback years later, making “Dancing Alone” a fitting closing chapter for the duo’s run.

Part Of A Bigger 90’s House Revival

This track landed right as a wave of major dance artists started reaching back into 90’s and early-2000’s house influences, trading in the maximalist, chant-driven big room sound of a few years earlier for something groovier and more nostalgic. Axwell / Ingrosso tapping into that shift alongside RØMANS’ emotive vocal performance gave “Dancing Alone” real staying power in festival sets and radio rotation that summer, and it’s aged into one of the more fondly remembered tracks from the project’s catalog, especially given how it bookended their run as a duo.
