Data Insight

The London Sessions keeps Tiësto in his collaborative producer role: every track is a guest-vocal feature, so the words come from singers like Mabel, Becky Hill, Post Malone, and Rita Ora, while Tiësto stays on the music and production. He shares writing and producing with a roster of house and pop names, among them Gorgon City, Jonas Blue, and Dzeko. There are no instrumentals on the album, making it a fully vocal-driven dance-pop record.

The London Sessions is the sixth studio album by Tiësto, released in 2020 and named for the writing and production sessions held in London that shaped it. It leans into contemporary house and pop-dance, built around a deep roster of guest vocalists including Mabel, Becky Hill, Post Malone, Rita Ora, and Snoop Dogg. The album collects several of his late-2010s hits, among them 'Jackie Chan', 'Ritual', and 'God Is a Dancer'. Tiësto produces and co-writes throughout, working with collaborators like Gorgon City, Jonas Blue, and Dzeko, while the featured singers supply the words. It is a snapshot of his place in mainstream dance-pop entering the 2020s.
