Avicii announces new remix album - "True" Avicii

by Avicii

Twice Grammy nominated Swedish DJ / Producer

Avicii is to release an extraordinary ‘True’ remix

album on March 24th, following the remarkable

and unprecedented success the album enjoyed

upon it’s release last September.

Boasting the fastest selling single of 2013 in

‘Wake Me Up!’, which also charted at number 1

in a mammoth 84 territories, as well as top 10

follow singles ‘You Make Me’ and ‘Hey

Brother’, ‘True’ confirmed Avicii’s status as one

of dance music’s truly global stars. Fusing

charging dance rhythms with folk-esque riffs and

vocals, a facet of his music that has rapidly

become his hallmark, as well as displaying a

stunning adeptness for melody, his is a sound

that has galvanized charts across the world.

Now, fresh for 2014, Avicii is set to offer up an

entirely re-contextualized version of ‘True’ that

delivers the album in a new, uniquely exciting

light. Approached from an ‘Avicii by Avicii’

standpoint, each rework sees him toy with

original tracks in an innovative format that

showcases not only craftsmanship but a

remarkable willingness to experiment and

explore.

Showcasing a multitude of dance floor styles is

thus at the forefront of what makes this such an

exciting body of music. The harmonic, big room

charm of ‘Wake Me Up’, which works a rolling,

bass-heavy twist on the original is a bold contrast

to the synth-rich, disco-inspired rework of ‘You

Make Me’ but one that defines Avicii’s prodigious

musical outlook. A recurring theme throughout

the album, further exemplified by the

juxtaposition of storming, club-ready edit of ‘Hey

Brother’ with a a brilliantly left-field, down-tempo

remix of ‘Shame On Me’, ‘Avicii by Avicii’ is a

conceptual masterstroke. Fresh and exciting, it

manages to retain the personality of ‘True’, whilst

simultaneously extending the appeal of what

made ‘True’ such a groundbreaking debut album.

 

YAAASSSS <3

OMG I'M DYING :wub: :wub: Can't wait to hear this, I was hoping there'd be a deluxe edition of some sort so yay for it happening!

So instead of releasing new material, he's just remaking the songs he's already put out and releasing them again? I really fail to see the point of this. Surely remix albums are supposed to showcase remixes by OTHER artists.

That is quite funny :lol:

All the original tracks have been remixed for this special release.

 

I believe we are also getting a repackaged edition of the original album? Anybody know any more info about this?

I wonder if some of the missing vocals will be restored for instance Dan Reynolds (Imagine Dragons) on ‘Heart Upon My Sleeve’?!

Heart Upon My Sleeve doesn't seem to be on the track list :(

Oh, that's disappointing. :(

I think the idea is to make the album appeal to his original fans who didn't like his techno-country direction. Certainly this feels more like the sort of album I'd have expected him to put out before I heard Wake Me Up. It's a very good set of remixes to be fair, I've heard the Wake Me Up remix before as it's Speed Remix which has appeared on compilations before and was originally Speed (burn & Lotus F1 Team Mix).

 

The Dear Boy remix is fantastic, I think I prefer it to the album version, which I already loved! The new melody is fantastic! Hey Brother is a lot softer with a different singer, which sort of sounds like Salem Al Fakir.

Probably is him, he did the box on You Make Me.

 

This is fine but tbh I'm waiting on the Madonnas collab.
