Built around bright guitar samples, rhythmic slap bass and dynamic percussion, the track feels immediate while remaining rooted in classic house aesthetics. This release continues Carrillo music’s mission to connect generations within electronic music — linking fresh talent with legendary voices to expand the sound and strengthen the community. Following her celebrated collaboration with Ron Carroll, Carrillo once again demonstrates her ability to fuse modern production with the original soul of house. Her previous work with Eric Redd further underlines this commitment to authentic, groove-oriented music.


For Soleil Carrillo, "Love Shine" began as a simple instrumental sketch. Once Terri B! joined the project, it gained emotional depth — becoming a bridge between past and present while paying tribute to Ron Carroll’s legacy. Terri’s distinctive vocal delivery gave the track a strong emotional core and reinforced its message of love and resilience.


"I found these sweet guitar samples and started building a house track around them. The goal was to make something bright and funky", said Soleil Carrillo. "When everything started coming together, I realised Terri’s iconic, soulful voice would shine on this track."





At the heart of "Love Shine" lies a message of freedom and connection. Terri B! wrote and performed the lyrics intuitively and emotionally, inspired by the loss of her friend and long-time collaborator Ron Carroll.


"I want the audience to feel free in such turbulent times and live life to the fullest", shared Terri B!. "I recently lost my dear friend Ron Carroll, and his track "Lucky Star" has always held that meaning for me."


Alongside the original version, the release comes with a global remix package broadening its reach. Kebab & Cream (Newcastle, UK) deliver a heavy-bass, groove-laden rework, while Schom & Merd (South Africa) offer a tech-house interpretation with underground intensity. Together, the versions take "Love Shine" to dancefloors around the world.

"We need this", said Terri B!. "Legends and iconic artists are just as vital as new voices and producers. Working together should be natural — not avoided."


With more than two decades in the industry, Terri B! has become a defining figure in house music, known for her extensive catalogue of vocals, collaborations and chart-topping hits. She first gained international recognition with 2 Eivissa and the hit "Oh La La La", which climbed charts across Europe. Later, she fully embraced dance music, working with Cazzette, Laidback Luke, Roger Sanchez, Avicii and Ralphi Rosario, among others. Her voice features on over a thousand remixes and hundreds of singles, including several US Billboard Dance Chart number ones.


Beyond her vocals, Terri B! is also a respected songwriter, DJ and MC. Through projects like The Terri Green Project, she continues to connect generations and uphold the soul of house. "I keep my ears tuned to what’s happening in urban, dance and soul", she explained. "I like to mix the new with what I’ve always done."

"I’m blessed by the wisdom and professionalism Terri shared with me", said Soleil Carrillo. "Experienced artists should collaborate more with new voices — it’s how we preserve tradition while exploring new sounds."


Carrillo builds her productions around groove and rhythm, using pulsing basslines and swinging drums to create flow. "People love a driving bassline", she noted. "By layering and selecting the right percussive loops, I achieved something that worked seamlessly with my slap bass."


More than just a track, "Love Shine" is a declaration of continuity and community within house music. By uniting experience and innovation, emotion and rhythm, Soleil Carrillo and Terri B! carry forward the legacy of artists like Ron Carroll into a new era.


Available now on all digital platforms via Carrillo Music, "Love Shine" reaffirms that the essence of house — love, groove and collective spirit — continues to shine.
