Songwriter, DJ and vocalist supreme Aruna is back in full force with her next solo single, "Reason To Believe." The LA-based artist will make her Enhanced Music debut on August 19 and already "Reason To Believe" is shaping up to be one of summer's most memorable vocal smashes, with premieres on A State of Trance #623 and Group Therapy with Above & Beyond #037. 

"I wanted to step outside of the box and create new lyrical patterns and melodies that I hadn't employed before," says Aruna. "That's why I co-wrote this track with someone new to EDM." 

She partnered with fellow Los Angeles musician, David Bowick of the band Alder, and says that working with someone outside of the tight-knit dance music scene brought a fresh perspective to her songwriting. The lyrics speak of spiraling downwards after loss and heartbreak but Aruna's vocals convey innocence and hope. Producer and composer Steve Kaetzel brought a score of sparkling piano melodies, wobbling, glitchy bass and soothing trance chimes wrapped with intricate vocal editing to make the track fit for at-home, easy listening or havoc-wreaking on the dance floor.

Back To Buffalo

Right about the time the streetlight came on
parked on the lawn threw away the keys

1987 fender’s busted, engine rusted
Tires down on their knees

Getting stared down by a blank wall
Another nightfall falling down around me

Lately it’s all the same old story

Gotta get away
So sick of standing still
Leaving here to say
Gonna find another thrill
To blow me away
Trade in a memory
For everything that you’ll never be

Everybody's hot in California 
I gotta warn ya you're never gonna want to leave

‘Cause all the stars got a scar to show you
After a drink or two, tucked up their sleeve

Everybody’s not what everybody says
Get into my bed and outta my dreams

Lately it’s all the same old story

Gotta get away
So sick of standing still
Leaving here to say
Gonna find another thrill
To blow me away
Trade in a memory
for everything that you’ll never be

You’ll never be the enemy, 
It never meant that much to me
Here is now and then is how
The first and last have come to pass

Getting stared down, by a blank wall
Another nightfall falling down around me

Gotta get away
So sick of standing still
Leaving here to say
Gonna find another thrill
To blow me away
Trade in a memory
For everything that you’ll never be
