AVCII: POP MUSIC

AVCII:  Released his first studio album September 13, 2013, TRUE. You have probably heard it on the radio as they are playing (Wake Me-Up, featuring Aloe Blacc) endlessly. 
Tim Bergling is Avcii, the 24 year old from Sweden who has received international recognition as Avicii. Bergling is a DJ, remixer, and record Producer, who uses synthesizers, turn tables, PC’s Macbook Pro and various other electronics to make his productions stand out from the crowd and enlists specific artists to run the vocals. (See list of credit vocal on the album below).
It is amazing the guy is not the performer, he is the performance, the artist that creates the drama, the beat, and gets the masses moving off their feet. It’s a new sound of blended Folk, Dance, Country, Rock, EDM, Techno, and very popular. He has over 186 Million hits on ‘Wake Me Up’ on Youtube and counting. The sound is infectious, and you can’t help singing along or moving to the beat.

In March, Avicii made his reverse Dylan-goes-electric move at the EDM-centric Ultra Fest, inviting bluegrass musicians onstage during his set. The crowd was baffled, but the Swede's debut album picks up on this Mumford & Synths sound for a set of folk, soul and addictive house beats. Dan Tyminski of Union Station sings the grand Appalachian stomper "Hey Brother," and Imagine Dragons penned "Heart Upon My Sleeve." True saves room for two funky disco jams featuring banging diva vocals from Audra Mae and Adam Lambert. All of this proves that Avicii's new sound is much more than a page from Moby's Play book.
