AXWELL DROPS FIRST SOLO TRACK SINCE 2013

'Waiting For So Long (Gloria)' is dedicated to the Swedish producer's wife

Axwell has revealed his brand new single, 'Waiting For So Long (Gloria)', his first solo record since 2013 set for release via his own imprint, Axtone. 

The poppy banger is dedicated to the producer's wife as a wedding gift, and is set to drop as part of the former Swedish House Mafia member's deluxe label compilation, 'Axtone Ten', out 11th December. 

"My solo work is more of a vent or an outlet for music that feels more personal to me," Axwell told Rolling Stone. "I thought my wife deserved something money couldn't buy — a song just for her."

Axwell recently hinted at the possibility of a Swedish House Mafia reunion, but right now he says he's got his hands full with Axtone. "The craziest part is that we've had people working and building a record label for a decade, but successfully, even in these days of the music business going down," he said.

"That to me is amazing. We've been able to make a business out of my own music, other artists' talent and the dedicated team behind the label. That feels special. Back in the day, having your own label sounded impossible. It's crazy to see where we are now."
