“Gorgeous production, gorgeous vocals – it’s a stunning success for both parties involved” - MTV Buzzworthy
Grammy-nominated Producer/DJ Morgan Page returns this week with the fourth single from his stellar studio album, In The Air. “Carry Me” is an original release created in collaboration with renowned songwriter Nadia Ali.
This is the second time the two have worked together. The first time Page and Ali partnered, the result led to a “Best Remix” Grammy nomination for “Fantasy” from Ali’s solo effort Embers. Returning to the studio, the pair were quick to rekindle their initial chemistry. The result is a dynamic crossover track that fuses the best of pop and house elements and manages to convey genuine romanticism.
Remixes comes from Dyro and Nilson & The 8th Note. Dyro gets straight to the point with a razor-sharp electro treatment, while Nilson & The 8th Note keep it classic with a compelling big room rework.
Setting the tone, MTV partners to premiere Carry Me Aftermovie. As part of a “new crop of DJs leading the way towards the new stage paradigm of EDM,” [LA Weekly], the After Movie flawlessly captures the dynamic live set that Page is celebrated for. Filmed for a special Miami edition of MTV Clubland, the After Movie will on MTV, MTV Hits and MTVu.
