April 19, 20197 yr BTS are just killing it right now :o I must admit that I am quite disappointed by 'Boy With Luv', it's more... ordinary than I was expecting after the absolute banger that 'IDOL' was. But I did decide to check out the album yesterday because it was so short and it was quite solid on the whole, 'HOME' being my favourite!
April 19, 20197 yr It's better than that World Cup-esque song they released last year, but this is a Nile Rodgers throwaway :lol:
April 19, 20197 yr 12 | | 1st week Avicii featuring Aloe Blacc SOS 1st single from Tim Released: 10th April 2019 Label: Avicii Recordings In his short time as a professional DJ/producer, Avicii, a.k.a. Sweden’s Tim Bergling, did more for the commingling of dance music with other genres than anyone before him. He essentially reenvisioned EDM as a place where booming 4/4 beats and neon synths could be worked into the songwriting structures of soul, bluegrass, and country—and end up not sounding like EDM at all. Once you got over the initial shock, the uplifting melodies made it all feel pretty natural. Before his suicide in 2018, Avicii had completed roughly 75 to 80 percent of the tracks that will make up his forthcoming posthumous LP, Tim, overseen by producers and songwriters Carl Falk, Albin Nedler, and Kristoffer Fogelmark. Its first single, “SOS,” moves in a similar direction as the folksy vibe of 2017’s Avīci (01) EP. It’s a dance-pop tune, sure—with gentle nods to Balearic beat and a bit of New Wave—but its laid-back ’80s soft-rock rhythm and rich vocals from Aloe Blacc, who helped announce Bergling’s arrival on 2013’s “Wake Me Up,” give it that unique Avicii touch, pulling from a manner of styles but still hewing to something you can spend a night on a beach dancing to. Then there’s the lyrics, which recount someone trading their drugs for the euphoric promise of a new love, and which open with a shot that invites all kinds of interpretation: “Can you hear me?/S.O.S./Help me put my mind to rest.” - iTunes Chart Statistics NE (25/04/2019) | 12 Sales: - Certification: - Status: Standard Chart Ratio TBA Sales TBA Audio Streaming TBA Video Streaming Video u8tdT5pAE34 Biography Tim Bergling (Swedish: [tɪm ²bærjlɪŋ]; 8 September 1989 – 20 April 2018), known professionally as Avicii (/əˈviːtʃi/, Swedish: [aˈvɪtːɕɪ]), was a Swedish music programmer, DJ, remixer and record producer. At the age of 16, Bergling began posting his remixes on electronic music forums, which led to his first record deal. He rose to prominence in 2011 with his single "Levels". His debut studio album, True (2013), blended electronic music with elements of multiple genres and received generally positive reviews. It peaked in the top ten in more than fifteen countries and topped international dance charts; the lead single, "Wake Me Up", topped most music markets in Europe and reached number four in the United States. In 2015, Bergling released his second studio album, Stories, and in 2017 he released an EP, Avīci (01). His catalogue also included the singles "I Could Be the One" with Nicky Romero, "You Make Me", "X You", "Hey Brother", "Addicted to You", "The Days", "The Nights", "Waiting for Love", "Without You" and "Lonely Together". Bergling was nominated for a Grammy Award for his work on "Sunshine" with David Guetta in 2012 and "Levels" in 2013. Several music publications credit Bergling as among the DJs who ushered electronic music into Top 40 radio in the early 2010s. Bergling retired from touring in 2016 due to health problems, having suffered stress and poor mental health for several years. On 20 April 2018, Bergling committed suicide in Muscat, Oman. He was buried on 8 June in his hometown of Stockholm. - Wikipedia _______________________________________________________________ Top 100 Chart History Avicii 2010 13 Seek Bromance (Tim Berg) -NAS- 2010 46 My Feelings For You (Avicii & Sebastien Drums) -1- 2011 04 Collide (Leona Lewis & Avicii) 2011 04 Levels -NAS- 2012 22 Silhouettes -NAS- 2012 49 Superlove (Avicii vs. Lenny Kravitz) -NAS- 2013 01 I Could Be The One (Avicii vs. Nicky Romero) -NAS- 2013 47 X You -NAS- 2013 01 Wake Me Up -1- MILLION SELLER 2013 05 You Make Me -2- 2013 02 Hey Brother -3- MILLIONAIRE 2014 14 Addicted To You -4- 2014 82 The Days -NAS- 2015 06 The Nights -1- 2015 06 Waiting For Love -2- 2015 68 For A Better Day -3- 2017 32 Without You (feat.

April 19, 20197 yr I really don't get 'Boy With Luv', it just... barely even has a hook? Totally goes over my head. I'm here for BTS having success as they're capable of much better than this ('FAKE LOVE' and 'IDOL' are great x) and yay for diversity in the charts but nah at this song. It's better than the other new entry this week though :ph34r: (edit: speaking of which... sorry but this Avicii song is so bad, sounds like a Kygo reject)
April 19, 20197 yr I must admit that I'm really not a fan of 'SOS', a disjointed mess with off-putting lyrics and a beige drop. I hope there'll be better to come from this project!
April 19, 20197 yr Great to see this get so high, a real quality song (if we ignore the drop). Do they really need to dub out the word 'drugs' though, it really makes a mess of the song.
April 19, 20197 yr This Avicii track has definitely grown on me - buzzing for Heaven to be released! Edited April 19, 20197 yr by WhoOdyssey
April 19, 20197 yr I had hoped Avicii would make the Top 10 but as the week progressed i knew it would not happen. Its another Top 15 hit nonetheless.
