No, Gryffin and Armin van Buuren—what took you so long?

Out now is a collaborative effort from one of trance music’s most influential figures and a modern-day star who’s looked up to him throughout his career. Back in November, we first heard that the duo were working together on a track, but now fans can finally hear what they cooked up.

Out now via Armada, “What Took You So Long” is the debut collaboration from Gryffin and van Buuren. The larger-than-life track is an epic climb through classic trance leads and stentorian vocals, delivering a soaring anthem that will fit well in both artists’ sets on the festival circuit.

Fans attending Ultra Music Festival this weekend will surely hear “What Took You So Long” live in Gryffin’s set or one of van Buuren’s three. For those who can’t make it to Miami, check out the new single below and find it on streaming platforms here.

In other Gryffin news, he’s gearing up for the release of his long-awaited third studio album, PULSE.

“I hit this huge wave of inspiration where I really wanted to make this album high octane and energetic and almost like you feel the pulse of the music breathing and living as you’re listening to the album and experience,” Gryffin told us of the album in an exclusive interview. “That’s the birth and ethos of it. It definitely still sounds like me. It’s still very melodic with a lot of emotion within the album, but I think people are really going to feel a difference. It’s going to feel like an adrenaline shot.”
