Avicii

With the hypnotic and bright Grammy-nominated track "Levels," Swedish EDM DJ/producer Tim Bergling aka Avicii unleashed a global dance hit the size of "Beachball," "Blue Monday," "Starships," and maybe even "The Hokey Pokey." If the masses leave the dancefloor, "Levels" brings them back with sunshine and light, but Avicii's debut album True was a sharp left turn, kicking off with the acoustic guitar strum of "Wake Me Up," a pleasant, well-written heritage pop track where "I Need a Dollar" vocalist Aloe Blacc gets thrown in a synthetic Mumford & Sons surrounding for something that was very non-"Levels."…

Swedish DJ Avicii is a strange case. In 2011, he broke through with "Levels," a bleepy and bright bit of EDM that could have been his signature hit, but then his 2013 album, True, was a country-pop and folk-inspired affair that thrilled his fans with its inventiveness, but left others as cold as a meandering Mumford & Sons remix effort. Two years later, his LP Stories is another genre-busting affair that fits in better with mainstream radio than it does the club, but everything iffy about True has been perfected here, as the producer revisits the song-oriented album and lets the outside genres freely come and go.

When Swedish producer/DJ Avicii, a.k.a. Tim Bergling, died by suicide in 2018, he left behind more than just unanswered questions—there were also somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 unreleased tracks and demos. By the accounts of his friends and collaborators, not only was Bergling in good spirits near the end of his life, but he was well into the production of what would become his third full-length album. Within weeks of his passing, his family asked his management to begin the process of combing through all his devices for the music he’d been working on. "He kept titled folders like 'These are the [tracks] that I want to release' or 'These are the ones that I'm unsure of,’” Christopher Thordson, a member of Avicii's management team, tells Apple Music.
