The music on ”True” is wide open, free of prejudice. The track written together with Nile Rodgers, ”Lay me down”, is sung by gay icon Adam Lambert and culminates in life-affirming italo disco that reminds of Blackbox’ ”Ride on time”. Just as Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones did with ”Thriller” Avicii also erases the lines between hard an soft, masculine and feminine, black and white. A couple of the tracks are made together with two of Swedish music’s greatest talents, Salem Al Fakir and Vincent Pontare, who started to collaborate on Petter’s last album and continued cooperating on Veronica Maggio’s coming album.

On spotify all genres -pop, disco, metal, country, soundtracks- are only one click apart. Avicii is a child of his time in the way that he makes no regards to genre. How many other musicians in history has played for 25 million people all over the world before they make their debut album? Avicii knows exactly what tempo changes will get hands raised to the sky.Īt the same time it’s also an album that takes great musical risks. An album where every chorus points at the top of the Empire State Building and says this is where I shall stay.Īvicii has made his research in the field, tuned his craft into perfection.
