Chart-topping German-Croatian DJ/producer Topic, house legend Robin Schulz and German singer-songwriter Nico Santos have teamed up to bring a poignant update of the anthemic Paul van Dyk trance hit “For An Angel” to a new generation. Released by Astralwerks today in the U.S., “In Your Arms (For An Angel)” is centered around the beautiful piano riff from van Dyk’s all-time dance classic. A mellow, deep house groove underpins Santos’ yearning vocals alongside soft chords and warm bass tones. It’s joyous and melancholic and infectious all at once.
“In Your Arms (For An Angel)” is the third track that Topic and Nico Santos have collaborated on. The song follows their 2020 hit “Like I Love You” and 2015’s “Home,” which was certified Platinum in Germany and double Platinum in Australia. Santos won the inaugural Free European Song Contest in 2020 with “Like I Love You” and more recently, took home the prestigious German 1 Live Krone Award for Best Song 2021 for “Would I Lie To You.” He is internationally certified with 15 Gold and 20 Platinum awards.
With nearly 10 billion combined global streams, producer/DJ Robin Schulz is the most-streamed German artist of the past decade. He became an overnight sensation with his GRAMMY®-nominated remix of “Waves” in 2014 and has continued to make his mark with tracks such as “Shed a Light” featuring David Guetta and Cheat Codes, “In Your Eyes” featuring Alida and “All We Got” featuring KIDDO.
Topic’s recent collaborations include the two billion-times-streamed “Breaking Me” with A7S, “Your Love (9PM)” with ATB and A7S, which is nominated for a 2022 BRIT Award in the International Song of the Year category, and “Chain My Heart” with Bebe Rexha. He’s also earned acclaim for his remixes for such artists as Moby, Becky Hill, Clean Bandit, Surf Mesa and Regard x Troye Sivan x Tate McRae.
