VenSun - Love Is Love

This is the collaboration of French producer/DJ David Vendetta and big voiced singer Sylvia Tosun. The song is about love and equality for everyone. The positive message is one that is especially relevant right now. Sylvia delivers a soulful, uplifting vocal. There are some remixes by Marc Stout, Matteo Marini, and Tracy Young. Marc Stout's mix is in a similar vein as the original but it gets a bit harder and darker. Matteo Marini's mix has a laidback, chilled vibe to it during most parts, however, the synth sections have an anthemic feel to them. Tracy Young's big room mix with the gorgeous piano sections is lovely. The mix is mostly a dub with just a handful of vocals during the breaks.

Alex M.O.R.P.H. feat Sylvia Tosun - An Angel's Love

Trancemaster Alex M.O.R.P.H. teams up with vocalist Sylvia Tosun for this big room Trance epic. The production is a absolutely stunning, calling to mind the same sort of higher tempo, uplifting Trance that was coming out at the start of the 2000s. Sylvia's ethereal vocals are exquisite, floating beautifully over the production. The additional remix by Alex with Chriss Ortega unfortunately loses the beauty and drama of the main versions, sounding like one big Electro mess. The breaks in between capture what the main versions had, but at the lower tempo, it doesn't work well.

Sylvia Tosun - Above All

She is back with her latest single "Above All." This one is just as stunning as her recent releases. Sylvia's vocals are lovely. The production on the original is chilled yet energetic. So far, there are remixes by Ron Reeser & Dan Saenz and Alex M.O.R.P.H. Ron and Dan's mix is in a similar direction as the original but slightly clubbier. Alex M.O.R.P.H. provides a lush, trance mix. Sylvia's vocals become even more hypnotic when over a trancey production. All versions (so far) are great.

Sylvia Tosun - Underlying Feeling

This is the followup to this year's club hit "Head Over Heels." While her earlier releases have been a bit more hard-hitting, this one shows a softer side, but still packs the same punch. "Underlying Feeling" could be best described as an uplifting Trance song at a lower BPM with a milder beat, but has the same euphoric feel. Sylvia's vocals are a bit more ethereal than usual. The main version is very simple. The Adam K & Soha mixes are the real gem. Sylvia's vocals float over the layered production. Very hypnotic. Soulshaker's mixes are elegant, deep house.
