about this album
“A Town Called Paradise” is the fifth studio album by Dutch DJ and producer Tiësto, released on June 13, 2014, through Musical Freedom, PM:AM Recordings, and Universal Music. The album marks a stylistic shift for Tiësto, embracing a more mainstream EDM and dance-pop sound, moving away from his earlier trance roots. It features collaborations with artists such as Matthew Koma, Icona Pop, Krewella, and Hardwell. The album debuted at number 18 on the US Billboard 200 and number two on the Billboard Dance/Electronic Albums chart. It also charted in several other countries, including the UK, Ireland, and New Zealand. A Town Called Paradise received mixed reviews from critics. Rolling Stone noted that Tiësto had shifted from his trance roots to a more pop-oriented sound, stating, “He’s a consummate crowd-pleaser, but he’s best when he gets weird.” Spectrum Pulse gave the album a 6/10, mentioning that while there are solid melodies and decent vocal performances, the album occasionally feels overloaded and some tracks come across as interchangeable.
