Revealed is issuing a special emotional acoustic version of Hardwell & Amba Shepherd’s #1 Beatport hit “Apollo” for the ‘I Am Hardwell’ DVD and Soundtrack, which are both out now.
Amba Shepherd spoke about the impact of “Apollo,” “‘Apollo’ is a song that’s totally changed my life. Writing the melody and lyrics all came together so quickly for me the stars were aligned. It shot straight up to #1 in the Beatport in Dec but it wasn’t really until Jan or Feb when I started seeing footage from all the huge festivals with huge stadiums full of people all singing along to the song that it was becoming unbelievable. In March Hardwell came to Australia and we performed it here to hundreds of thousands at Future Music Festival in Sydney & Melbourne, then Revealed in Miami and I Am Hardwell in Amsterdam in April. To have thousands of people all singing along holding up their hands and making love hearts at us is mind blowing and so humbling. I still get hundreds of tweets weekly about “Apollo” – people’s pictures and tattoos! I feel so honored to experience this reaction to my music & felt we had to do an acoustic version to strip it back to the raw foundation of the song. So I put the vocal & piano arrangement together and found amazing LA pianist and composer Evan Duffy who worked his magic and turned it into gold. I shot the video in Sydney, Miami, and Amsterdam together with Robin Piree. We wanted to show the very personal side of “Apollo” unfolding over the last 12 months and my journey along with it.”
