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.
#AVICII TRUE ALBUM REVIEW MAC#
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.
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. 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.
