Hardwell – Broken Mirror / Into The Unknown [Revealed]
After making a triumphant return to the Ultra Music Festival mainstage, Hardwell delivers his first new tracks since 2018. His intro tracks from that epic set, “Broken Mirror” and “Into The Unknown” drop today via Revealed Recordings.
“Broken Mirror” tells the story of Hardwell‘s identity crisis as an artist. The track has an eerie and dystopian feel to it, with a ticking clock underneath a monologue describing his artistic transformation.
“I know you have your opinion. But let’s be honest…Your opinion of me does not define who I am. Because I know what you want me to be. Now, I’m gonna show you who I truly am.”
— Hardwell, via “Broken Mirror”
“Into The Unknown” plunges the listener straight into a newly inspired Hardwell’s next chapter. The tune does not hold back any energy, fusing huge drums and searing synths for an intense sound highlighted by a vocal hook encouraging us all to follow “Into The Unknown”.
These two singles mark the very beginning of what will be a crazy summer for Hardwell. They represent the first of 14 tracks set for the Rebels Never Die album, which is highly anticipated after the Ultra performance and subsequent world tour announcement.
