Summer just got a whole lot smoother. When international star EMIN links up with Andru Donalds—the voice that helped define Enigma’s ethereal sound—you know the result is going to feel special. Their new single “About Love” lands right in that sweet spot of dance pop, old-school house, and deep house, and it is pure atmospheric gold.
The track is built like a late-night drive along the coast. Understated production keeps everything clean so the two voices can really breathe. EMIN and Andru play off each other beautifully—one grounded and warm, the other floating with that unmistakable Enigma-era glow. Maxim Fadeev’s songwriting and production touch is all over this one, giving the song exakt that signature character he is known for. It is the kind of summer pop that does not scream for attention; it just pulls you in and holds you there.
This release keeps the momentum rolling for EMIN. It follows his acclaimed album Maybe Tomorrow, executive produced by 16-time GRAMMY winner David Foster, the Cutfather-produced summer anthem “Ordinary Love,” and the English-language version of his viral hit with JONY called “Fireplace.” That original track smashed into the Top 3 of the Global Shazam Chart, so the bar is already high. “About Love” feels like the natural next step—elegant, breezy, and ready for playlists that stretch from rooftop bars to beach sunsets.
EMIN has been doing this for almost two decades now. More than 20 studio albums, countless awards, and stages shared with Jennifer Lopez plus full stadium runs with Take That. He has worked with Nile Rodgers on “Boomerang” (which hit No. 9 on the Billboard Dance chart), Joe Bonamassa, Brian Rawling, and Fraser T. Smith. His taste runs from Robbie Williams to Engelbert Humperdinck, and he even has new Elvis-inspired music on the way. The guy simply knows how to craft songs that stick.
Andru Donalds brings that extra layer of mystique. Best known for his work with the legendary Enigma project, his voice still carries that otherworldly quality that made those records timeless. Hearing him and EMIN trade lines is the real highlight here—the contrast is everything.
If you are lucky enough to be in Baku this week, the two of them will perform “About Love” live together for the first time at the international DREAM FEST at Sea Breeze. That is going to be a moment.
In a year where deep house and chill summer mixes are absolutely dominating playlists, “About Love” feels perfectly timed. It has that old-school house heartbeat mixed with modern dance-pop polish and just enough deep-house atmosphere to keep things cool when the temperature rises.
