Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 September 2013. 5.0 out of 5 stars Electronic Dance Music that crosses genre boundaries. The effect of Avicii's head-spinning concoctions means that when he opts for a more serious house moment, the results aren't quite as compelling. There was a problem filtering reviews right now. The vocals are different, the music sounds like he ran the original master through some weird Music. Normally Avicii is a true master at remixing but this album is not True to the Original True in any aspect. It's a similar story for 'Hope There's Someone', which sews together Linnea Henriksson's ethereal and trembling vocal with thumping dance breaks - the result Frankensteinian but strangely listenable.

And if that wasn't surprising enough, the vocals come courtesy of 71-year-old Mac Davis, the man behind Elvis Presley's 'Memories' and 'A Little Less Conversation'. Given its massive worldwide success, it's hardly surprising that the LP continues to put a donk on songs you wouldn't otherwise expect to hear a donk on.Ī case-in-point is 'Addicted To You', a sultry soul number that quickly metamorphoses into the kind of arms-aloft number that would suit both an underground club or a night down your local Walkabout. For the most part, Bergling’s past discography as Aviciithe 2013 debut True and 2015’s follow-up Storieskept the mood as light and starry-eyed as EDM gets, the closest thing to pure. This truthful thought provoking film follows Swedish electronic artist Tim Bergling aka ‘Avicii’ as he navigates the complex world of a DJ/producer within. Save a contentious feature on Leona Lewis's 'Collide' and finding a friend in Madonna(!), the 23-year-old has stuck to his word on his debut album True, which doesn't even officially credit its guests so as to keep the beatsmith firmly in the spotlight.Īs such, eyebrows were raised when it turned out that it was 'I Need A Dollar' singer Aloe Blacc who featured on the record's lead single 'Wake Me Up!' a bonkers blend of EDM, soul and country that in theory should be classed as a novelty song but somehow avoids the distinction due to everyone involved. Avicii: True Stories shares his life in compelling documentary During this year’s Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) the premiere of the much-anticipated film Avicii: True Stories took place. I am not a big fan of Avicii's music, but this portrayal is so mesmerizing and incredibly sad following Tim Bergling's (Avicii) early death. When Avicii broke into the global circuit in 2011, he was quick to brush off comparisons with fellow superstar DJ David Guetta, insisting he wasn't going to emulate the Frenchman by collaborating with every international popstar with a spare 20 minutes. It’s strange how your mind and informations about stuff changes your perception of certain films.
