The New York Times article implies that Avicii's team wanted to keep everything if Avicii was going to release the album, so it makes me think that the vocalists are the ones who worked with him in the songs and they didn't want to replace them with most well-known singers to sell this project. I could be wrong though.

The quality of the song doesn’t matter so much to me, it’ll just be nice to hear some of his work that was shelved or in production. Could find some hidden gems. Looking forward to SOS!

Nicky Romero has been playing this version of Heaven live, so it seems like this will be the one that's released. Nicky said Avicii sent him the track two weeks before he died. :(

Slightly disappointing that we are only getting 12 after 16 were teased, though it was implied that not all 16 were going to be used.

 

And Heart Upon My Sleeve as an instrumental we already heard back in 2013 on the True album! Hopefully they’re going to change it a bit for this version aside from just putting on the Dan Reynolds vocal which got leaked years ago anyway.

 

And who’s this Joe Janiak that’s getting 3 songs? Was also hoping we’d get some of the Sandro Cavazza songs so shame to not see those on the tracklist.

 

Still really excited for this album anyhow! I’m just glad we are at least getting one.

It seems that there are going to be 16 tracks in the Japanese edition of the album (CD + DVD). It's available in the Universal Music JP Store and you could check this here.

 

Also, it looks like there's going to be a sample of "Stay With Me" by Sam Smith in "Freak" if it's considered the writing credits of the song, which also includes Bon Iver. The full list of composers of "Freak" is Tim Bergling, Albin Nedler, Kristoffer Fogelmark, nakamura hachidai, Rokusuke Ei, Justin Vernon, Sam Smith, James Napier, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty & William Phillips.

The official tracklist has been revealed on Billboard.

It's basically the same as the previous one, with the following differences: Chris Martin nor Coldplay aren't credited on "Heaven", but the former indeed wrote the song with Tim, "Ain't a Thing" and "Freak" feature Bonn, "Never Leave Me" features Joe Janiak and "Fades Away" features Noonie Bao.

Why would Chris Martin not be credited on Heaven then, I hope it doesn't mean the song's going to be an instrumental. :unsure: (or maybe Tim's singing it)

There's going to be a pre-listen to the album on June 1 and June 2.

Maybe, he doesn't like to be credited as a solo artist? I'm not sure about this, but an example of this could be "Homesick", where he has prominent backing vocals and he could have been easily featured on it. Also, Dua and Chris are labelmates.

The Japanese edition only lists 12 tracks, not 16.

Heart Upon My Sleeve will sound so out of place if it is anything like the 2013 version
