There’s a kind of momentum that only builds when you’re five singles deep into an album rollout, and Estiva is right in the middle of that sweet spot. His latest drop, Shores, just landed—and it’s exactly the kind of emotional, melodic house track that makes you want to replay it the second it ends. For fans following the slow reveal of Embrace, this one’s a standout.
Shores balances melodies, rich synth textures, and a vocal line that hits that rare place between melancholy and lift. It’s clean, detailed, and deeply felt—something Estiva has been sharpening for years across labels like Enhanced, Anjunabeats, Armada, and now Colorize. And while earlier singles like KFIL and Lonely Keys hinted at the emotional range of this album, Shores kind of locks it in.
“I started it with Lauren and Dee, and I still remember that session vividly even though it was almost three years ago,” Estiva shares. “It was really cool to see such talented people take my demo and turn it into something special. The tricky part for me was finishing it. When a vocal is that good, I feel pressure to get everything just right.”
That pressure clearly paid off. Shores flows like a DJ’s dream—textured enough for headphones, but it begs for a club system. It’s melodic house through and through, but never too pretty to hit.
And yeah, this whole thing is building to Embrace, Estiva’s fifth studio album, dropping April 25. If Shores is any indication, the album is going to live in that space between solitude and connection, built for both the 3 a.m. dancefloor and the morning-after walk. Every cut so far has brought a slightly different shade, but together they’re forming something cohesive.
Worth noting: Estiva is also having a moment on the charts.
Via Infinita already grabbed the top spot on Beatport’s Progressive House chart, and as of now, he’s holding down the #7 position globally in that genre. That momentum is showing up on stage too—his recent shows in NYC, London, Amsterdam, and Chicago have all been packed, and with Tomorrowland, Ultra, and Creamfields under his belt, this rollout has real legs.
With Shores out now, the picture of Embrace is getting clearer. And from where we’re standing, it’s looking sharp.
