In Trance We Trust 573-0
Roy Malakian featuring Chris Jones - Vital Signs
1. Original Mix
2. Radio Edit
Roy Malakian presents his new single "Vital Signs" on the In Trance We Trust imprint, with the vocals by Chris Jones.
Roy Malakian debuted in 2003 as a DJ on Lebanon's number One Radio One. From Beirut's beach resorts and discotheques, he expanded into Europe's finest clubs, perceiving the relentless flow of interaction between him and the crowd as each piece of music is seamlessly mixed. Roy's single "Solitary Soldier" was supported by Paul Oakenfold. As the driving force behind his radio show "The Pulse", Roy featured international and well respected artists like Judge Jules, Chris Fortier, Sultan, Danjo, Marcus Schulz, Fred Numf, Thomas Gold and more. For this new release, Roy collaborated with singer/songwriter Chris Jones.
Chris was headhunted to write and perform in the trance scene; he went on to work with one of the world's top DJs Roger Shah. Together they collaborated on what was to become one of the biggest selling dance tracks of all time "Going Wrong". The world's number one DJ Armin van Buuren joined forces on the track with Roger and Chris and its popularity erupted. Chris performed the track live during Armin's legendary 'Armin Only' world tour; the name Chris Jones became synonymous with the no.1 dance hit "Going Wrong".
The arrangement of "Vital Signs" breathes a clear nod and a wink to the superb electronic dance music from the eighties by acts like The Human League, New Order and Heaven 17. Now delivered in Roy Malakian's massive state of the art way of delivering superb trance and with Chris Jones' vocals on top, "Vital Signs" has everything in it to become a new trance anthem.

Vital Signs Full Synopsis :
"Vital Signs" portrays multiple stories with interrelated characters and sets : a group of musicians recording a song, a couple's struggling relationship and a photographer's journey.
The battle of the mind, a battle between good and evil, rages in the head of the young woman, due to her unstable relationship with her boyfriend. The latter is accentuated with two eccentric characters invading the life of the woman whom, at the end, surrenders to their games, drowning herself in dark thoughts.
Meanwhile, the boyfriend didn't understand what was going on his girlfriend's mind, which made him realize that their relationship is doomed. Therefore, he decided to move on and leave her behind, by completely surrendering himself to music.
On the other hand, the photographer, who was seeking inspiration, unexpectedly encountered the troubled young woman through his camera lens, and she suddenly went from being a complete stranger to an ultimate muse.
In other words, life is a struggle, a battlefield, but there is always something worth living for, a vital sign that keeps us going...
