Adam Young has come a long way since his days posting the musical experiments on MySpace and YouTube that launched his swift rise to global success. His rise from the unknown into chart topping success saw his debut album - the wonderful, lovingly created Ocean Eyes, which was released by Island Records in February 2010 - certified gold or platinum in nine countries. The album spawned the quadruple-platinum debut single ?Fireflies', which was a No.1 smash hit in 24 countries including the UK (where it remained at the top spot for 3 weeks), and sold more than 12 million downloads worldwide. Its eye-popping success made Owl City an international phenomenon.
On The Midsummer Station's first single - the incredibly infectious pop gem ?Good Time' released 17th September - Young is joined in a duet by Carly Rae Jepsen whose debut single ?Call Me Maybe' has been a global hit - it held the No.1 spot in the Official UK charts for 5 weeks. Young being a fan of Jepsen, reached out to her about collaborating on a song upon learning that she was also a fan of his.
The leak of one of his new tracks ?Dementia? sparked a great deal of excitement and intrigue, with some describing the collaboration with blink-182's Mark Hoppus as the perfect pairing. Adam describes the track as dealing with the ?crazy, schizophrenic thoughts and feelings? he experienced in the wake of the success of his chart-topping 2009 platinum debut album Ocean Eyes. He hints that songs like ?Shooting Star' on his new album will appeal to fans of house, trance, dub-step, and other styles of EDM with its big euphoric house beats?and mentions some of the great trance DJs of the last decade (Armin van Buuren, ATB, Above & Beyond, Ti?sto, Ferry Corsten) as his influences.
