The World Can Wait

Paul Oakenfold and Luis Fonsi collaborate on the heartfelt masterpiece “The World Can Wait”

I remember when I discovered the legendary Paul Oakenfold at a random stage at Electric Forest. It was a truly beautiful moment! Now he’s ready with his absolutely gorgeous new release! World-class DJ legend Paul Oakenfold and Latin multi-Grammy award winner Luis Fonsi team up on ‘The World Can Wait’.

 

The track is an unexpected collaboration meshing the artists’ strengths to produce a heartfelt masterpiece. While combining Oakenfold’s uplifting, melodic synths with Fonsi’s emotional vocals, they take us on a journey where the hopes of an undeniable connection are enough to conquer the world, especially in these troubled times. I absolutely love this track!!

The World Can Wait

The track was co-produced by DJWS (Lady Gaga, Pitbull). Say what? ‘The World Can Wait’ is the first single to be released from Paul Oakenfold’s upcoming studio album “Shine On” due later this year. Paul’s new album, his first since critically the acclaimed “A Lively Mind” (2006) and “Bunkka” (2000) will veer down a decidedly chilled out path, making it an incredibly listenable album and not one solely crafted for the dance floor. I can’t wait to hear this album! 

The World Can Wait

Paul’s Thoughts

 

“I just love the song and the meaning of the lyrics. The song came about during a writing session I was doing with a few writers and we took it to Luis Fonsi and his team who loved the song as well. It’s a good taste of what’s to come from my studio album – it’s mostly melodic songs and very cinematic with great singers and interesting beats. It’s something you will want to sit down and listen to in its entirety rather than as individual tracks,” Oakenfold says.
