One of dance music’s biggest stars, Gabry Ponte, and world-renowned band Train throw all genre labels aside, proving that true art knows no bounds as they come together on debut collaboration “Brokenhearted.”
Both artists are innovators within their respective scenes, so it comes as no surprise that when paired together in the studio, the result is electrifying. “Brokenhearted” has the toe-tapping, acoustic rhythm signature of Train. Not to mention the instantly recognisable, warm vocal tones of lead singer Pat Monahan, which convey the heartfelt story. There’s no time for tears, however, as Gabry Ponte’s slick-cut production cuts in deep with a pulsating kick that turns up the tempo and, combined with illuminating synths and sparkling electro effects, makes for a cool and contemporary dance-rock fusion.
As one of Italy’s biggest musical exports, DJ and producer Gabry Ponte boasts an illustrious career that began with his time in Eiffel 65, where he produced the global mega-hit “Blue (Da Ba Dee).” Not even at the halfway mark of 2025, and already this is shaping up to be Gabry’s biggest year yet, entering the Eurovision Song Contest, with the honor of representing San Marino at the grand finale on Saturday, May 17, 2025. As well as the immense accolade of becoming the first DJ to headline Milan’s famous San Siro Stadium on June 28, 2025, selling out all 55,000 tickets months in advance.
Since their formation in 1994, the internationally acclaimed, diamond-selling band Train has captivated audiences worldwide with their signature blend of rock and pop, infectious melodies, and heartfelt lyrics. Known for their critically acclaimed catalogue of chart-topping smash hits like “Drops of Jupiter,” “Hey, Soul Sister,” and “Drive By,” Train has sold more than 10 million albums and 30 million tracks worldwide. The band has had 14 songs on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart and 13 albums on the Billboard 200 albums chart, earning multiple platinum and gold certifications, including three GRAMMY Awards, two Billboard Music Awards, and dozens of other honors.
