Secondly, while David Guetta consistently collaborates with some of the hottest artists in the charts, you would be forgiven for only knowing a few of the artists credited on Avicii’s True. If you want to know who the artist is, you have to check the track notes. Firstly, Avicii doesn’t give these artists a feature spot, unlike Guetta. However if there’s ever one thing that will set them apart, it’s the artists that feature on their songs. It’s a song that effortlessly darts across genre lines, a concept that is embraced throughout the album.Ĭomparisons between Avicii and David Guetta have been numerous, and will continue to occur as long as both are producing hit after hit. On top of that are the sultry tones of R&B singer Aloe Blacc. While the EDM elements are clearly there, the track was built on a melody that could be found on a standard country or folk album.

”Wake Me Up” isn’t, or rather, wasn’t, a track you would expect from an EDM artist. It’s probably the catchiest song on the album, but it also sets a precedent for what one can expect from the other tracks. The album opens up with the guitar riffs of ”Wake Me Up”, which will, for many, be a tune that takes them back to the summer. Avicii is hot property, and his debut album, True is only going to ensure that he maintains this status for the foreseeable future. He became the first DJ to headline Radio City Music Hall in New York, not just once but on two consecutive nights, with the latter selling out in less than a minute. The song earned the DJ a Grammy nomination, and helped propel him out of the EDM world, towards the ears of the masses. Everyone wants to hear more from the man who released one of the biggest EDM anthems in recent years, ”Levels”, back in 2011.

At 24, Swedish born DJ Avicii has got the EDM world, and beyond, in the palm of his hands.
