The boundary-pushing video for “’La La La’’ shows the duo traveling through the galaxies, beaming up unhappy people onto their spaceship for an impromptu party, using the universal language of music to unite and uplift their mood.

The lyrics of “La La La,” celebrate being different and blocking out the negativity:
When They Criticise Me, I Don’t Listen
They Don’t Realise, I Like To Be Different
All They Do Is La La La La La La La La
Talking In My Ear, But I Do Not Wanna Hear
I Be Like La La La La La La La La
Get Up Out My Face, Give Me Space, Give Me Space

AREA21 continue their journey on planet earth with “Pogo”
Following the release of “La La La,” which has already surpassed over 5M combined streams, the adventures of AREA21 continue with today’s release of “Pogo.” The song exudes the feeling of being completely uninhibited, living life wild and free, which makes it the perfect soundtrack for the coming summer months. Written by Martin Garrix and Maejor, Martin also plays electric guitar on the track, one of the many talents from this multi-faceted artist.
The video for “Pogo” picks up where “La La La” left off with the two alien travelers M & M having crashed landed on earth, standing on their recently crashed spaceship and running from the law. Their escape includes a very unorthodox mode of transportation, a group of unlikely heroes and lands them in the perfect place to get away from it all – Vegas, baby.
