Hardwell and Outsiders Drop Long-Awaited Hardstyle Anthem, “Falling In Love”

by Michael Ryan · Published October 11, 2024

If connection is measured in BPM, Hardwell and Outsiders' new single "Falling In Love" would break the barometer.

Out now on Hardwell's own label, Revealed Recordings, the track interpolates the ageless lyrics of Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling in Love." This hardstyle behemoth, a high-energy fusion of classic romance and modern electronic music, doesn't just nod to Elvis—it grabs the King's 1961 classic by the sequined lapels and hurls it onto the mainstage.

"Falling In Love" showcases Hardwell and Outsiders' skills in balancing nostalgia with contemporary sound design, creating an engaging tension by highlighting the contrast between the tender sentiment of the lyrics and the track's relentless rhythms. Those iconic words take on new life when entwined with the Dutch compatriots' soaring synths and distorted kick drums, which run roughshod through a euphoric drop.

While it may not win over hardstyle skeptics, fans of the genre will find plenty to appreciate. The song's infectious energy and memorable hook are likely to make it a staple at international EDM festivals as 2024 comes to a close.
