Official artwork

 

http://resources.socialpromote.co.uk/media/72ea4e07-e4a8-4f8e-85fb-fe4274b2a890.jpg

 

Available to pre-order on iTunes (£3.99) and we also know the running time of each track (it's a surprisingly short EP for six tracks). It also appears to be titled 'Avīci (01)' so presumably the second EP will be 'Avīci (02)'.

 

Tracklist

1. Friend Of Mine (feat. Vargas & Lagola) [2:39]

2. Lonely Together (feat. Rita Ora) [3:01]

3. You Be Love (feat. Billy Raffoul) [3:27]

4. Without You (feat. Sandro Cavazza) [3:01]

5. What Would I Change It To (feat. AlunaGeorge) [2:58]

6. So Much Better (with Sandro Cavazza) [Avicii Remix] [2:37]

 

total runtime: 17:43

 

I am so ready for the best 17 minutes and 43 seconds of the year. :w00t:

The artwork is supercool but those tracks... they look too short :nocheer: maybe a few of them will have extended version in the future hopefully!

They are quite short aren't they! Do we know which one (if any) he is promoting as a single? I assume it will be Friends of Mine (wasn't there a rumour the video had already been filmed?) or Lonely Together

 

I hope he hasn't scrapped All I Need (with Sia) and that it will appear on the second EP. I personally love that one so it will be a shame never to have it in HQ.

Hmm.. interesting meaning behind Avicii then.

 

At 17 minutes as an EP, will it classify as long enough to enter the Album Chart? I remember the Coldplay EP recently couldn't because it didn't make the minimum time but this has 6 tracks (compared to Coldplays 5) so will it?

The minimum time is 25 minutes so it won't be album chart eligible. And at £3.99 which is the same price as 'Kaleidoscope' it'd be too cheap to be classified as an album anyway.
So if 'Avīci' means 'hell' in Buddism

Apt name.

My one complaint so far is that all the songs are too damn short :cry: b:

initial thoughts:

 

1. Friend Of Mine (feat. Vargas & Lagola)

sounds very much like his 'Stories' material, would've sounded great as an album track on there. the drop is excellent with the synths reminding me of Waiting For Love.

 

2. Lonely Together (feat. Rita Ora)

Rita Ora really doesn't sound like herself on this, that's probably for the best though. sounds a bit more ~2017~ but still got that Avicii trademark sound, it has a similar BPM to tropical house but that's about it.

 

3. You Be Love (feat. Billy Raffoul)

this one is a bit more 'True' era sounding, reminds me of a few of the album tracks off that. the vocalist isn't particularly amazing but the production of course makes up for that.

 

4. Without You (feat. Sandro Cavazza)

now this is truly amazing, with any luck it'd be the big single though that's probably more likely to be 'Lonely Together' (edit: it appears this is getting an iTunes Hot Songs push, yay!). very uptempo and has a big chorus.

 

5. What Would I Change It To (feat. AlunaGeorge)

this is nice enough but a bit too chilled for Avicii, wish it built up to something bigger.

 

6. So Much Better (with Sandro Cavazza) [Avicii Remix]

this is quite chill for Avicii too but it has a better build up and better production overall.

 

I'd rank it something like this at the moment

1 - Without You

2 - Friend Of Mine

3 - Lonely Together

4 - You Be Love

5 - So Much Better

6 - What Would I Change It To

 

overall it's really good, so glad Avicii is finally back! :cheer: :wub:

this tbh!

 

They all really could do with an extra minute, hope we get some sort of extended mix package sometime.

I got so used to the live extended version of Without You that this kind of feels like a heavily edited down radio version. It's still 10/10 and the best song on the EP but definately needs at least 30 seconds added to it's runtime.

I think the songs get worse as the EP goes on. Friend of Mine is definitely the standout for me, Lonely Together is decent to listen to, the next two are nice but not amazing and the AlunaGeorge collab is really a let-down :(

 

Shouldn't be complaining though, it's new Avicii! :cheer:

Why does this EP sound like David Guetta.

I really don't see this comparison. :unsure: Which of Guetta's songs sounds like this, other than the ones that Avicii coproduced?

Lonely Together is one of the best songs I've ever heard and I'm not exaggerating
