Los Angeles-based producer Danny Olson joins forces with NYC-based singer-songwriter Luma on their new collab “Time,” a stunning dance pop single issued by Lost In Dreams Records.

“Time” is a powerful ballad that centers around loss and moving on. Luma’s impassioned vocals blur the separation between beauty and pain, as it shadows an unresolved lost love. The lyrics expound on the account, reflecting on past events while trying to get a grip on the anguish. Danny Olson compliments Luma’s performance with an epic score. Cinematic in the truest sense, it combines contemplative piano, sweeping strings, and delicate arpeggiations. Perfectly placed percussion builds the track at the right moments while powerful leads create a cathartic release. “Time” plays like a well-crafted film, inviting listeners to experience a slice of the artists’ souls.

Danny Olson breaks down the meaning of the collab, stating: “‘Time’ encapsulates the unknowingness that life, love and loss bring, and the faith required to achieve the inner peace that we all strive for. I couldn’t be more thrilled to release one of my best records to date on the illustrious and unrivaled Lost In Dreams label.”

“‘Time’ is a special song because it exposes and appreciates the complicated process of dealing with grief,” adds Luma. “I can’t wait for the world to hear it.”

Olson’s inspiration came from one of the brightest minds from the film score industry, working around the German’s riveting composition in a blockbuster that wouldn’t have been possible without his Grammy-winning touch.

“I’ve always been incredibly inspired by film composer Hans Zimmer. His scores and, furthermore, ability to impart such passion and emotion through his music are what first ignited the musical spark within myself—I wanted to have that same effect on people with my own music. I’ve always loved his instrumental song ‘Time’ from the movie ‘Inception.’ Those four repeating chords create such a unique and grandiose landscape as they cascade upwards, building and building with each successive cycle. Hans’ version served as the inspiration for ours, but we took it one step further, adding our own original lyrics and melodies. What resulted was an interpolation written about the beautiful but devastating effect that time, loss and love have on all of us.”

A composer, producer, electronic artist, DJ, and Lost In Dreams veteran, Danny Olson has always rigorously cultivated and pursued his passions for both electronic and cinematic music, focusing his energies between dance music, trailer music, and film scoring. He’s unleashed a slew of singles on Lost In Dreams including the standout “Melting” with yetep which has surpassed 1.4M streams. With his star rising, Danny Olson has been commissioned for remixes from megastars such as Maroon 5, Tiesto, The Chainsmokers, SLANDER, Nurko, and more.

New York City’s Luma is an exceptionally talented singer-songwriter. She’s made multiple appearances on Lost In Dreams with helloworld on “afterthought,” “Gold” on Crystal Skies’ debut album ‘Not Since When,’ and “How To Let Go” alongside STAR SEED. Her music recently soundtracked the Lexus IS car campaign and she has worked with a multitude of impressive artists including Illenium, Gryffin, and Zeds Dead.

The combination of Luma’s stirring vocal performance and Danny Olson’s masterful production comes together to create an unforgettable melodic bass masterwork.

Danny Olson & Luma’s new single “Time” is available on all platforms via Lost In Dreams Records.
