A natural follow-up to Breathe In in both sound and meaning, Breathe Out sees a new, healthier and reconnected Armin van Buuren deliver the second and final part of his ninth studio album, Breathe. Inspired by a stronger sense of self, more creativity and an even more dauntless approach to studio work, the album comprises a total of 38 tracks, from chart-topping hits to surprising collaborations (e.g. Pendulum & Rob Swire, Sam Gray, Moby, Bon Jovi) and new tracks, such as Let It Be For Love (feat. Jai Ryu) and Gimme The Love (with Seth Hills, feat. Alessia Labate). It is chockful of sound fusions and expert songwriting, showing that a balanced mind and lifestyle can lead to wonder. Breathe Out really shows how far Ive come, not just as an artist, but as a person. This album is about creative freedom, living fully, and putting everything Ive learned – especially through my journey with mental health and self-growth – into the music. In many ways, it feels like coming full circle. – Armin van Buuren
