Armin van Buuren showcases his ability to create enchanting records with his new single ‘Christmas Days’, compelling all listeners to just lay back and enjoy the moment.
Armin van Buuren is getting into the holiday spirit, transforming his magical summer hit with Josh Cumbee, ‘Sunny Days’, into a Christmas record for the festive season. Made within 24 hours and aired the same day on Dutch radio, this new rendition hits the spot! Armin van Buuren knows how to turn down the intensity and bring up the beauty of a record.
“A few weeks ago, someone from the office asked me if I had ever toyed with the idea of turning ‘Sunny Days’ into a Christmas song. A DJ releasing a Christmas carol is not something that easily comes to mind, but when I listened to ‘Sunny Days’ afterwards, I discovered that the lyrics do have some of that Christmas magic going for them.” Armin van Buuren on his new single.
“Past Tuesday night, I spoke with the vocalist of ‘Sunny Days’, Josh Cumbee, who has become a good friend of mine. I shared the idea with him and when I woke up the next morning at 6 a.m., he had already sent me a first draft, based on an unreleased downtempo version of ‘Sunny Days’. I loved it so much that I immediately sent it over to my record label (Armada Music) and less than 24 hours later, ‘Christmas Days’ was born.”
