Axwell, Ingrosso, Angello, Laidback Luke feat. Deborah Cox - Leave The World Behind

There had been considerable buzz surrounding this track ever since it was first discussed a couple months back. A short, live recording of it had leaked on YouTube, but those not in the know didn't know that they could get a taste of this once-in-a-lifetime collaboration. Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso, Steve Angello and Laidback Luke have been a major force in European Dance music and Deborah Cox has been huge here in the U.S. Dance clubs. What happens when these two forces unite? Something truly major.

The production on the track is quite interesting. It's a little Electro, kinda afterhours-ish, but it's also a little filtered. Deborah's familiar vocals come in about halfway into the main mix after a nice steady buildup. She sounds wonderful.

There's only one version of this so far. That's all it may really need. The way the track is done, it could fit into a variety of sets. This will be huge on both sides of the Atlantic.

This track is available for purchase as an exclusive through Beatport right now. Search for the artist Laidback Luke and it will take you to this track.

Grade: A
