Avicii s Music connected everybody around the globe and we will never forget one of the best musical legends. Even now we still can’t get enough of Avicii, as we were all very keen to check out his new digs.Avicii. Wake Me Up became one the best selling singles in recent memory. Hey Brother and Addicted to You was everywhere. Then, suddenly You Make Me was everywhere.
Obviously, it hasn’t been as hotly anticipated as the debut but we still have been looking forward to see what the Swede superstar has in store for us. Liar Liar, Shame On Me and the fans’ rightful favourite Dear Boy were superb testaments to Bergling’s attention to genres and melodies.So here we are with the obligatory remix album. Thankfully, the album had much more to offer than a few smash singles. 060253786296, Avicii - True (Avicii By Avicii) album art, Avicii True (Avicii By.It’s been almost half a year since the release of Avicii’s debut True. Sick Individuals has put their skills to the test on Addicted To You by amplifying the chorus and combining it with gospel fitting progressive chords and an energetic drop to make this track ready for the dance floor.Shop for Vinyl, CDs and more from Avicii at the Discogs Marketplace. Miss him so much.After continued success off his most recent album True, Avicii has hand selected some of his favorite artists to remix tracks off the album.
It feels hemmed in and unnecessary, in what should be a great club track. But it appears that Bergling can’t help himself, for a guitar solo soon kicks off. Aloe’s vocals soon give way to a syncopated, house reworking of the original hook that truly sounds great. Avicii’s intentions are clear, it’s the dance-floor he wants to dominate this time. The original barn-dance, EDM hybrid may have won the world over but this time we are treated to a thudding kick drum and the usual, plucky synth house keys.
However, a surefire bass line quickly kicks in and all hints of its country bluegrass roots disappears. It starts off relatively similar to the original the cutesy country vocals have been pitched up, the acoustic guitar still strums and whines away. However, it now packs a very energetic chiptune/guitar solo that gives the track that extra punch.Hey Brother is one of the best remixes the album. The remix is still a paltry 3 minutes, which I imagine isn’t great for mixing or the dance floor. For the track sounded like a bizarre 1980s Stadium Rock/EDM hybrid and therefore, I loved it. The aggressive piano and blistering electro lead sounded great with Salem Al Fakir’s vocals, the likes of which Journey or Boston would be happy to lay claim to.
The House of the Rising Sun style organ is gone and replaced with the usual Avicii dance magic. This new remix will grow on you, as they say.Liar Liar is pretty formulaic as far as club music goes, but it works. It’s true, Avicii has one of the best ears for melodies in dance music. The bluesy Kanye West’s Homecoming style piano sounds great among the variety of new synths Bergling deploys here and it’s just euphorically infectious. Although Karen Marie Ørsted’s beautiful vocals may have been undermined with the new pitching, the track still remains as hair-raisingly good.
The funky reworking now means it is nowhere near as catchy as the original and all traces of Nile Rodgers is hard to find. The syncopated beat is complimented by chopped up vocals and funky bass line, but however, the old-timey coolness of the original is no more. Because, weirdly, Avicii has opted for a trap/breakbeat sound here. It may come under an unimpressive 4 minutes but it arrives as a welcome and innovative break from the house music.
He has completely reworked and flipped his music, creating something decent that may not redefine the club landscape as much as the original did to the pop landscape.It’s hard to decide which is better and it’s a good case of ‘chalk and cheese’. Avicii by Avicii is nowhere as ambitious as his debut… but then again it is. Perhaps the fans will enjoy Avicii’s signature big room sound in this track more than I do.So. Certainly, I understand the point of a remix, but there should be no need to compromise everything that made the original great. The predatory bass line and Rodgers’s funky guitar sheen made it one of my favourites, but these qualities are nowhere to be found here in the remix.
