Tiësto is officially reclaiming his throne in the trance world. The Dutch icon just released Tiësto – Beautiful Places, a track that signals a massive shift away from his recent pop-heavy collaborations and back toward the ethereal soundscapes that defined his early career. Dropping via his own Musical Freedom imprint, this release marks the second major pillar of his highly anticipated “Prismatic” era.
The Evolution of the Tiësto Beautiful Places Sound
While his recent hits with stars like Ava Max dominated the charts, Tiësto – Beautiful Places flows with a confidence that only a veteran producer can command. Featuring the hauntingly emotive vocals of LA-based singer-songwriter Brieanna Grace, the track bridges the gap between nostalgic early-2000s trance and modern high-fidelity production.
Fans first caught a glimpse of this ID during his set at Dreamstate SoCal last November. Since then, the hype surrounding his new trance album—tentatively code-named “T8” by the community—has reached fever pitch. The atmosphere of this latest single draws direct comparisons to the legendary In Search of Sunrise compilations, trading aggressive big-room drops for spine-tingling melodies and driving percussion.
Brieanna Grace delivers a lyrical performance centered on emotional wreckage and the illusion of “paradise.” Her voice anchors the production, turning a club-ready anthem into a vulnerable exploration of the human psyche.
As Tiësto prepares for his upcoming residency at Ushuaïa Ibiza and a headlining slot at EDC Las Vegas 2026, the Prismatic era appears to be more than just a temporary detour. By wiping his social media and reviving his classic-era branding, the producer is clearly redefining the future of the genre he helped build. You can now stream the new single on all major platforms through the Musical Freedom label.
