Had I not been away for the past week watching high school kids hold hands at the mall (and then shaking my head disapprovingly), then this song would have already been posted. It has been my favorite song for a week now and so I have been looking forward to posting it. Ianick is a 21 year old from Norway. Even with his fairly impressive catalogue of releases, he is extremely underrated and not nearly as well known as he should be. He is a versatile producer and capable of multiple genres. For “Hero”, his latest single, he went with an interesting electronic/progressive hybrid. It does not follow the typical progressive house formula, but there are aspects of it. The song gets off to an ambient start and slowly builds alongside the excellent vocals. The first climax is great, but once the guitar comes in during the second drop, it is hard not to be impressed. Ianick is an outstanding producer and deserves far more recognition.
