There are collabs that make sense on paper and fall flat in execution, and then there are collabs like this one. ‘All My Life’ is the rare record where every piece of the puzzle is exactly where it should be. Timmy’s anthemic instincts, Frank Walker’s emotional melodic touch, and John Martin’s voice doing what John Martin’s voice does better than almost anyone in the genre right now. The result is a life-affirming floor filler that feels like it was built for a sunset set at a festival you will be talking about years from now. The story behind the record makes it hit even harder. This is the follow-up to Timmy’s ‘Not A Place’ from earlier this year. It was a deeply personal track about love lost. ‘All My Life’ is the other side of that coin. Love at its absolute peak, the feeling of arriving at a moment you have been chasing your whole life. That narrative arc gives the record weight beyond just a good drop. “My last record centred around personal love lost, so I wanted to follow it with the story of that love at its peak. The moment I had been waiting for my whole life. Once Frank and I were happy with the musical direction, our first choice for the vocal was John Martin. In my opinion, the most iconic voice in dance music. We focused on that feeling of finally arriving at something you have been dreaming about, like making it to Tomorrowland with your best friends, travelling across the world to share a moment that changes everything. One of those nights you never forget.” – Timmy Trumpet “‘All My Life’ brings together all my favourite things about electronic music: Timmy’s anthemic energy, John’s powerhouse vocals, and my emotional melodies. Adding in John Martin’s incredible voice really took this one next level. I’m hugely inspired by the work he did with the Swedes, so getting to collaborate with him on a track was a bucket list item for me.” – Frank Walker It is impossible to talk about this record without talking about what John Martin brings to it. This is the man whose voice defined two of the most iconic moments in dance music history with Swedish House Mafia. When that voice lands on your record it does not just elevate it, it places it in a lineage. Martin reportedly reworked parts of the lyrics himself to take the song beyond Timmy’s personal story. He makes it something universal, something anyone can map onto their own defining moment. That instinct is exactly what makes him so good at this. What Timmy and Frank Walker built underneath that vocal is equally impressive. Walker’s influence, coming off his debut album ORIGIN, brings a melodic softness that balances Timmy’s natural festival firepower. The two sounds push against each other in the best way and the result is a record that works just as well in headphones as it does on a massive system at peak hour.

About John Martin Credit Daniel Karlsoon, Marko Ocepek Swedish singer and songwriter John Martin is one of the most defining voices in modern dance music. Stockholm-raised and originally rooted in rock songwriting, Martin found his way into electronic music through friendship. That friendship was with DJ and former boy band member Michel Zitron. The partnership led to Martin being invited into the Swedish House Mafia camp. The result was 2011’s ‘Save The World,’ a global anthem co-written by multiple collaborators. These collaborators included Martin, Zitron, Swedish House Mafia, and Vincent Pontare. The track sold over half a million copies in the U.S. and also reached the Top 10 in the UK. He followed it with the era-defining ‘Don’t You Worry Child’ in 2012. The track charted in 32 countries worldwide, hitting #1 in the UK, Sweden, Australia, and Venezuela.
