Martin Garrix has launched a ground-breaking new tune that deviates greatly from his usual big room and future house sound in a fascinating musical progression sure to excite the electronic music community.
The story behind Martin Garrix’s Told You So
Featuring the newly emerging electronic pop sensation Jex, “Told You So” is a nuanced trip into progressive house terrain that highlights the extraordinary musical flexibility of the Dutch superstar.
The origin of the song is as contemporary as its sound, evidence of the influence of social media in the scene of modern music. Originally a TikHub event, it developed into a full-fledged musical partnership spanning multiple genres. Recorded just in his apartment, Jex’s first hook attracted Garrix’s discriminating ear and made a basic social media post a worldwide success.
The tune beats with contagious energy open with layered synths that progressively create captivating rhythms. Jex’s vocals thread across the song, offering an emotional depth that distinguishes “Told You So” from a standard dance floor hit. Garrix’s technical prowess is evident in his creation of an emotionally compelling yet technically outstanding soundscape.
For Garrix, who just tied with Dutch great Armin van Buuren for the most poll wins in history by securing his sixth #1 spot in the DJ Mag Top 100 poll, this release arrives at a critical juncture. Working with Jex shows an artist not hesitant to venture into uncharted musical ground and challenge limits.
Martin Garrix talks about the new song
Garrix said, his enthusiasm clear, “Working on this track with Jex has been an absolute dream.” For Jex, the song marks a turning point as he follows the success of his past joint venture with Rival and Lost Sky, which already has over a million streams.
The Sound of Progressive Evolution “Told You So” is a statement rather than a one-sentence observation. The complex bass tones, sweeping strings, and well constructed melodic structure of the tune highlight a more sophisticated, grown-up attitude to electronic music. This progressive house masterwork strikes me as both familiar and revolutionary.
Released concurrently with the tune, the accompanying music video looks to be as creative as the song itself. Both supporters and detractors of Garrix’s already outstanding career are calling it a possible game-changer.
Now accessible on all digital channels, “Told You So” is more than simply a song; it’s a musical trip allowing fans to taste the next development of Martin Garrix‘s sound.
