First introduced at last year’s Ultra Miami, van Buuren’s remix of the 90s classic “ Keep the Faith,” featuring Bon Jovi, left fans in awe. The crowd went wild as Bon Jovi jumped on top of the decks and began to belt the lyrics of his 90’s anthem. The title track to his 1992 album Keep the Faith van Buurens’ Trance rework got the crowd bouncing with endless energy.
As legends in their own domains, it’s only fitting for these two to collaborate on this monumental spring release. Officially launching as a single today, fans have eagerly anticipated the debut of this Trance anthem. Van Buuren’s signature poise shines through, with Bon Jovi’s fierce vocals leading the charge of this acclaimed rework.
