JAKARTA - DJ and Norwegian producer Alan Walker released their latest work, this time a summer-themed song titled Endless Summer which also features British singer and songwriter Zak Abel.

"Like many others, I can't wait for the summer to come. For me summer is the most exciting and fun season," Alan said as quoted by Antara, Tuesday.

He argues that summer is the right moment to make moments happy with family and friends. This is his inspiration for writing a never-ending summer soundtrack song

"And Zak Abel's talent for reviving this song can only be done by him," he said.

Meanwhile, Zak Abel said the song "Endless Summer" became the most euphoric song he had ever worked on and collaborated with Alan was an extraordinary experience for him.

"It feels like I want to keep jumping happily and smiling, and I hope people will react like that when listening to this song," Zak said.
