Acclaimed DJ and producer Alex Wann has joined forces with rising artist Notre Dame for their first-ever collaboration, ‘The City,’ out now via Armada Music. The captivating new single arrives closely following the conclusion of the duo’s successful North American co-headline tour, which included a highly-praised, standout performance at 99Scott in Brooklyn, New York City.
‘The City’ masterfully blends Alex Wann’s signature Afro-house rhythms with Notre Dame’s melodic textures, delivering an evocative and rich soundscape. The track is further enriched by a powerful, emotional vocal from Carte Blanche, who delivers the poignant refrain: “I fell in love with the city.” Already a highlight in DJ sets across the globe, ‘The City’ is perfectly primed to become a defining new dancefloor anthem.
A Shared History Fuels the Collaboration
The collaboration between the two artists is a deeply personal one, rooted in a shared history.
Alex Wann shared: “Jeremie (Notre Dame) and I have known each other for over ten years — friends from the same hometown. ‘The City’ came together naturally. The vocal immediately caught our attention: inspiring, emotional, and perfectly matching the energy we wanted to create.”
Notre Dame added context to the track’s meaning: “‘The City’ is a track born from our shared story, two kids who grew up in Paris and started this journey together. It’s a tribute to those nights that shaped us, to the city that raised us, and to everything that made us dream bigger.”
