Grammy-nominated, Gold-Certified DJ and producer Audien continues to build anticipation for his forthcoming album ‘First Love‘ with the release of his newest single, ‘Bittersweet,’ out now via Armada Music. His first release of 2025 is the follow-up to his smash hit ‘One Last Dance’ featuring XIRA.
Audien’s ‘Bittersweet’ is an introspective track that showcases the artist’s signature blend of melodic house and emotive soundscapes. Featuring the ethereal vocals of Rosie Darling and the atmospheric production of Shallou, the song delves into the complexities of love, loss, and the bittersweet memories that linger long after a relationship has ended. The track opens with a delicate piano melody that sets a melancholic tone, perfectly complementing Rosie Darling’s soulful vocals. Her voice, filled with both vulnerability and strength, narrates a story of a love that has faded, leaving behind a bittersweet mix of longing and acceptance. As the track unfolds, the production intensifies, blending progressive house with soaring trance elements. This creates a euphoric contrast with the melancholic lyrics.
Here’s what Audien had to say about the track.
“Bittersweet is one of those songs that you know will last forever. Not knowing when to take the next step with someone can be one of the hardest decisions you may ever make. Let this be the soundtrack for that moment. Working with Shallou and Rosie was the
perfect synergy for this and I’m eternally grateful for their artistry and for trusting me to work on it with them.”
