It may be a sprawling hodge-podge, but all this works more often than youd expect.'In the red hot right here and now, there’s no refuting EDM is ruling the world and Swedish DJ/producer/remixer Avicii is currently controlling the axis on which it rotates. Not only did the 24-year old phenom move over four million copies and earn 83 million YouTube views for his breakout hit “Levels,” but “Wake Me Up” sold more than double that amount while hitting #1 in an astounding 81 countries!Avicii's follow up to 2013's True further stretches out the Swedish DJ/producer's style - to the point that it breaks and yields a stylistically fragmented collection of songs that, while mostly. Outside of exclusively original material, Avicii’s talents in the remix ranks were also apparent with his personal spin on today’s chart topping artists (Rihanna, Swedish House Mafia, Ellie Goulding) though timeless treasures like Smokey Robinson or The Pointer Sisters.For a guy with just one original long player to his name, it’s sure been a rocket ride from the clubs to places like the Allstate Arena during the Chicagoland stop of his “True” Tour, which found the general admission ground floor and seat-ignoring sides grooving to the relative newcomer’s insanely contagious beats.
Well today, with little to no announcement, he released his newest album Stories. I will flat out say this album is INCREDIBLY different from what you’re used to from Avicii. If you’ve heard the song Levels, then you obviously know the unstoppable EDM force that is Avicii. Outside of exclusively original material, Avicii’s talents in the remix ranks were also apparent with his personal spin on today’s chart topping artists (Rihanna, Swedish House Mafia, Ellie Goulding) though timeless treasures like Smokey Robinson or The Pointer Sisters.Additional affinity for the old school came on the aforementioned “Levels,” which besides bursting with its own progressive house grooves, also cleverly infused Etta James’ mighty “Something’s Got A Hold On Me” into its rapid repertoire. It was only natural to find the rising star bookending the full-throttled evening with the pyro and confetti-adorned “Wake Me Up,” the equally eclectic folktronica favorite that perhaps best embodied Avicii’s ability to blend the infectious with the unexpected.For additional information on Avicii, visit Avicii.com.

Hopefully Avicii goes on tour here soon because I can see some of these tracks absolutely slaying at a festival.
