You may remember first hearing the song at the Ultra Music Festival this spring, oooor you may have heard it last month during our ‘single awareness week’– either way it seems like ages ago and we’ve been dying to see an official music video.
On Tuesday, Martin Garrix finally shared the video for his brand new single In ‘The Name Of Love’ featuring newcomer Bebe Rexha.
Garrix performed the track live on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, which was also his very first American TV appearance. After the show was aired, the track soon shot up the Global Spotify charts, sitting quite firmly at the #15 spot worldwide. We’re not at all surprised, it’s absolutely epic *presses replay for about the 100th time*
So who is Bebe Rexha?
Bebe is a 26-year-old singer-songwriter from America, who has released a series of huge hits from David Guetta’s (Hey Mama) to Nicki Minaj (No Broken Hearts). Her debut album is due out in October.
This isn’t the first time the 20-year-old Dutch DJ has collaborated on a track, Bebe follows the likes of Ed Sheeran, Usher and Tiesto.
‘The Name Of Love’ will be one of the tracks on Garrix’s forthcoming untitled debut album, and is the first track under his new label partnership with Sony, which is available to download on iTunes.
He is reportedly the most followed DJ in the world on Instagram with 7.6 million followers compared to David Guetta’s 5.8 million – that’s allot of followers!
Not only immensely popular on social media, he’s won numerous awards including Best Electronic Act at the MTV Europe Music Awards 2015. There’s no doubt Garrix is one of the biggest electronic acts in the world right now.
Martin’s also been very busy headlining numerous festivals across the world, he’ll be performing this weekend at Creamfields. Let’s hope we get to hear another live performance of this amazing summer anthem.
