  • Nicky Romero releases “Nights With You”

    Nicky Romero releases “Nights With You”

    Dutch DJ and producer Nicky Romero announced a debut release off Universal Music with a new single titled, “Nights With You” which is currently available to stream/download at the following link.

    The track, which explores Romero’s softer side, opens with a piano solo, delivers soulful vocals, and gently undulating basslines that meld into soaring cinematic acoustic strings. Romero has long been a  pioneer of the progressive-house genre but is also known to be an eclectic producer who can wear any number of hats. “Nights With You” showcases the artist’s versatile style with a production that is made for massive radio air-play.

    Having recently launched a much darker progressive house project, Monocule, with his inaugural EP out now on Protocol Recordings, Nicky Romero is now expressing his excitement with his newest dance-pop crossover release with Universal.

    “’Nights With You’ is a song I have loved from the very first moment I finished the demo. We went through many versions of this record, but when the acoustic strings came in, I knew instantly we had something special. Sometimes, to get the best results and bring out the magic, certain elements of a track need to be preserved as raw. Partnering with Universal on this release is also exciting news, and I’m looking forward to the upcoming edits and remixes we have planned for ‘Nights With You.’

    The team at Universal Music has been thoughtful and flexible in the way they look after artists in 2020, particularly in dance music. I feel like they understand me as an artist and don’t attempt to put a box around creativity. I’m really excited about this partnership between our brands and look forward to what I know we’ll accomplish together.”
