In a bold move that showcases the limitless nature of artistic expression, two powerhouses from distinct musical realms, Gabry Ponte and Train, have merged their unique talents. The result is “Brokenhearted,” a track that seamlessly blends the signature sounds of both artists into an innovative and captivating listening experience.
The song immediately draws listeners in with Train’s hallmark toe-tapping acoustic rhythm. The instantly recognizable and warm vocal tones of lead singer Pat Monahan expertly convey the heartfelt narrative of the track. However, the emotional landscape quickly evolves as Gabry Ponte’s masterful production takes center stage. A pulsating kick drum injects a vibrant energy, elevating the tempo. This is intricately woven with illuminating synths and sparkling electro effects, culminating in a sophisticated and contemporary dance-rock fusion.
Gabry Ponte, one of Italy’s most prominent musical exports, has enjoyed an illustrious career. Many will remember his foundational work with Eiffel 65, where he co-produced the global mega-hit “Blue (Da Ba Dee).” His innovative spirit continues to drive his success.
Since their formation, the internationally acclaimed, diamond-selling band Train has captivated audiences worldwide. Their signature blend of rock and pop, characterized by infectious melodies and heartfelt lyrics, has produced a critically acclaimed catalog of chart-topping smash hits. Anthems like “Drops of Jupiter,” “Hey, Soul Sister,” and “Drive By” have solidified their place in modern music history, leading to sales of over 10 million albums and 30 million tracks worldwide. The band boasts an impressive 14 songs on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart and 13 albums on the Billboard 200 chart, earning them multiple platinum and gold certifications, three GRAMMY Awards, two Billboard Music Awards, and numerous other honors.
This collaboration marks a significant moment for both artists. For Gabry Ponte, this year is shaping up to be monumental, having recently led San Marino to the grand final of the Eurovision Song Contest. He also achieved the immense accolade of becoming the first DJ to headline Milan’s renowned San Siro Stadium, selling out all 55,000 tickets months in advance for the performance scheduled for June 28, 2025. Train was formed in 1994. The single ‘Brokenhearted’ is available now.
