His name has been popping up on different labels just about every week, and now Borgeous is returning to the site of his first big hit. That’s right: after the massive tune “Tsunami” was released together with DVBBS on Doorn Records back in August 2013, Borgeous now brings the heat with his new solo tune, “Wildfire”. The exclusive first play of “Wildfire” came just a few days ago, as BBC Radio 1‘s Danny Howard played it out during the second hour of his weekly Dance Anthems show. “Invincible” and “Celebration” were huge, and “Wildfire” appears to follow in the footsteps as another hit for Borgeous. “Wildfire” will be out on June 9.

The melody begins with a quiet bed of strings, and synth plucks on top. An uncredited female vocalist (supposedly, her name is Julia Michaels) begins to sing over that melody after a few seconds as well. As she hits the chorus, the melody filters into the background after a bass impact, and soon the drop comes hurdling towards the listener. It features a combination of the big-room sound that made “Tsunami” so successful, while still showcasing the originality that has brought Borgeous even more success in recent months.
