His 2004, ‘Just Be’ album was an international sensation, topping charts and reaching the #3 spot on the Billboard Top Electronic Albums chart. It was followed by ‘Elements of Life’ in 2007 that was also an international success topping the Billboard electronic chart. He was consistent with his sound, loyal to the international techno fan-base he had built.

His trance-driven beats have shifted this time around to accommodate the U.S. palette for pop music and R&B vocals. On this album he has recruited artists like Calvin Harris and Nelly Furtado, both whom have made it big on popular charts in the U.K. and the U.S. respectively. No one song stood out amongst the 17 on the album. Tiësto usually has long electro ballads that weave beats and harmonic waves and has strong vocal trance pieces and yet for this album he tried his best to appeal to the U.S. market leaving regular listeners aghast and confused by the pop-edge the album carries.
