Biography

Cleverly using dance music blogs as the platform to launch his career, Tim Berg, aka Avicii, has since become one of the most prominent producers on the burgeoning Swedish house scene. Born in Stockholm in 1989, Berg only started making music at the age of 18, writing and remixing tracks in his bedroom and then leaking them onto various blogs. Influenced by Daft Punk and Steve Angello, his melodic house sound gained a huge following, and led to support from Tiësto, who invited him to perform a weekly residency at Privilege in Ibiza, and Pete Tong, who released first single "Manman" through his Bedroom Bedlam label. After he remixed tracks for Little Boots, Robyn, and Dizzee Rascal, Berg's first mainstream release, the Ministry of Sound instrumental "Seek Bromance," became a huge hit across Europe and later in the U.K., thanks to a vocal version featuring Amanda Wilson. In 2012 he released the song "2 Million" after reaching that number of followers on Facebook, while his single "Le7els" and its accompanying video were nominated at that year's MTV Music Video Awards. Towards the end of 2012 he released his highly-anticipated collaboration single with Nicky Romero. "I Could Be The One" was a smash hit and was featured heavily on reality TV shows and radio play across Europe. In 2013, Avicii teamed up with Ericsson and creates the first "crowdsourced" track which enabled the producer to connect to fans and promote his brand. The single "3 Million" was released to celebrate the 3 millionth fan on his Facebook page. "Le7els" was nominated for the Best Dance Recording at the 2013 Grammys but lost out to Skrillex & Sirah's "Bangarang". Ahead of his debut album #TRUE, he released the single "Wake Me Up" in June 2013. Featuring Aloe Blacc, it reached the top of the UK Charts and confidently showed off his new musical direction. ~ Jon O'Brien, Rovi / iTunes

The Nights feels like a breeze of fresh air after Thinking Out Loud.

Avicii's only decent song is I Could Be The One and I am guessing that is mostly down to Nicky Romero.

 

The rest has been country dance shite reminiscent of Cotton Eye Joe.

Oh I don't like this, I don't like Rihanna's voice quirks and some of the random noises made during Kanye's bit
FourFiveSeconds is rubbish. Still, not the worst song in the top 10.
Avicii's only decent song is I Could Be The One and I am guessing that is mostly down to Nicky Romero.

 

The rest has been country dance shite reminiscent of Cotton Eye Joe.

 

 

Well, you're nearly right. You forgot that Levels was great.

Well he's only had 3 'country dance shite' tracks to be fair. Did you not like 'Levels'/'Silhouettes' either? 'The Nights' is truly AWFUL though, boo at it re-peaking again.

 

On the other hand woo for 'FourFiveSeconds' climbing. Hope it can go at least top 3 eventually.

I couldn't agree more.

This is so disappointing for a ‘Rihanna lead single’ ~ must be selling on name alone as it sounds like an unfinished demo for cheap album filler... :(
