DJ Momotaro & Aria Wren light up the dancefloor with “Better Days”
With Better Days, DJ Momotaro delivers a radiant, forward-looking single that captures the pulse of modern pop while carving out a space that’s entirely his own. Just dropped on December 12th, the track feels like a glittering beauty that ropes you in from the first notes. Teaming up with vocalist Aria Wren, the Dortmund-based producer and Momodisco Records founder fuses sleek electronic polish with emotion, serving up a dance anthem that’ll have you movin’!
Momotaro has long specialized in dance music influenced by Italo Disco, Euro Dance, Retro Pop, and Synthwave. However, Better Days pushes his sound into a new realm where it’s cleaner, brighter, and honestly a bit more global in its appeal. Drawing inspiration from contemporary pop heavyweights like RAYE or Becky Hill, the track embraces a modern production style that feels perfectly tuned to 2025’s pop landscape. The synths are glossy, the beat is energetic, and every melody turned into an instant earworm. It’s the kind of track that feels immediately familiar but entirely fresh.
Aria’s vocal performance is completely central to the track’s emotional arc. She brings a certain power without theatrics. Her tone is undeniably optimistic with a belief in the lyrics that better days are ahead. Against Momotaro’s vibrant production, her delivery becomes the emotional anchor of the song, turning its message into something that feels real.
Rather than exploding with euphoric maximalism, it radiates a more mature kind of hope. His production balances a club-ready beat with organic textures, giving the track a legitimate originality that many EDM-leaning releases lack. The result is a danceable hit that’s fully accessible for all.
It shows an artist sharpening his identity while expanding his reach, delivering a sound that is as international as it is personal. Between its uplifting message, immaculate production, and Wren’s standout vocal work, this track is an all around winner in our minds!
