Speaking on “Ray Of Solar,” Swedish House Mafia broke down what makes the track special and its meaning to them, saying,
“Happy to be back with a song that takes us places! Once we recorded these vocals we really got transcended to space. We listened to it on repeat all night and imagined floating in space. This is the summer record for us and even though we’ve heard it a million times and still feel the power of it, it’s a really special one, the unique vocal with our style of writing melodies makes it special! Doing this together with Tove was incredible as we really felt we gave it a true Nordic sonic landscape. We love every second of it and can’t wait for the world to hear it!”
Comprised of three legends in their own rite, Sebastian Ingrosso, Steve Angello and Axwell, Swedish House Mafia is one of the top-tiered EDM acts of all time.
