Fifteen years after capturing the world with his addicting track, "Sandstorm," Darude's released a new song, this time joining the forces of DJs who seem to identify with alien life forms from elsewhere in the galaxy. "Beautiful Alien" is Darude's declaration, on behalf of all of us who don't quite fit in, that we'll never be like others in society because we're beautiful beings from another world.
Darude capitalizes on the massive success of "Sandstorm" even in his new track, sneaking the old favorite into the mix where his vocalist drops her verses, and matching it with another high energy beat to accompany the hook. Samples of the DJs claim to fame aren't the only thing he pulls from the archives for this new video. As Darude spins his track, watchers are treated to a glimpse inside what it's like to attend a show and be one with the music that he produces. So if you're not quite able to sit front row with Darude, but still identify as an alien in an uncommon world, this video offers the closest thing to the experience you'll get without paying the ticket price...unless of course you go to a club playing the hit.
