What if I lose it all? Oh sister I will help you out.”Ĭollectively the album sways back and forth in theme, as it paints a picture of an artist unsure of how his venture outside his typical fare will be received. With tracks like Hey Brother, we see that vulnerability firsthand as country vocalist Dan Tyminski croons “What if I’m far from home? Oh brother I will hear you call. Rather, it’s Avicii taking a gigantic risk while showing the world he’s willing to put himself out there in the name of creating something special. True is more than just a compilation of pleasant-sounding music. So wake me up when it’s all over, when I’m wiser and I’m older, all this time I was finding myself, and I didn’t know I was lost. As it spread across the globe, the single connected with people as an anthem in self-discovery that defines True as an album. After weeks of criticism from fans, he released Wake Me Up as a single and quickly became the proud owner of the most listened-to song in the world, officially putting any doubts to rest. Backed up by live instruments, vocals, and even some kazoo, he began an evolution not often seen in the big room community. When he took the stage at Ultra with the promise of new music, Avicii stunned the world.
People at shows still yell “PLAY LEVELS” like they’re at Lynyrd Skynyrd waiting to hear “Freebird,” as Bergling’s come to be defined by thousands of people singing the iconic Etta James sample, “Ohhhh woaaahhhh, sometimes, I get a good feeling!” On one hand, Tim Bergling was the man who brought us Levels, a track that’s been played and overplayed to the point of exhaustion. We were told he’d be dropping never-before-heard music from his upcoming album and expectations were mixed. The hype preceding Avicii’s Week 2 set at Ultra Music Festival in Miami was palpable. With this album, Avicii sets himself apart as a successful big room artist willing to evolve past the style that made him famous, collaborating with a score of talented vocalists and songwriters across all genres. Hope There’s Someone ġ0.Groundbreaking, bold, and emotionally raw, True delivers on the promise of Wake Me Up as a heartfelt venture into country-house never before attempted. Expect to hear the likes of Adam Lambert, Nile Rodgers, Dan Reynolds (of Imagine Dragons), Audra Mae, and others featured on the album tracks. Today, the album (which is due out on September 17) has been made available for pre-order, and while all we can see are the featured acts, we get an idea of the tracks that made the cut. Luckily, his promo mix featuring new material seemed to calm some fears, and while the video for his latest single "Wake Me Up" confused the hell out of us, that didn't stop it from reaching the top of the UK iTunes charts in less than two hours.
The idea that he was working with Nile Rodgers was, off the bat, pretty intriguing, but the epicness that was his Ultra Music Festival performance left many confused (and pissed off). We first got word on Avicii working on his debut album back in February, and since then, it's been an interesting six months.
