Avicii's first best album, "Forever: Best of Avicii" will be released on Friday, May 16th!

Universal Music LLC (head office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Fujikura Nao / hereinafter referred to as Universal Music) will release Avicii’s first best album, “Forever: Best of Avicii” on Friday, May 16th.

Avici has been active all over the world as a DJ/producer/songwriter. This album will be its first best album, and will be available for streaming on CDs, LPs (imported versions only), all major download services, and streaming services, as well as exclusive content on Avicii’s official social media.

The film includes 19 songs selected from past beloved songs such as “Wake Me Up,” “Revels,” and “Heart Upon My Sleeve (feat. Imagine Dragons),” as well as 20 songs, the new song “LET’S RIDE AWAY FEAT. ELLE KING.” The Japanese CD will be released with 22 bonus tracks, including two songs, which will be Japan’s first CD, and will include a logo sticker and a mini poster.

The new song “Let’s Ride Away” is produced by Avicii, Luke Laird and Carl Falk and composed by Casey Musgraves, Avicii and Luke Laird. The band features the same brass band, who was born in Los Angeles, California, and was also involved in the vocals of Elle King, a powerful and emotional singer, and also featured the hit song “Phase Away.”

The cover photo uses a physical monument with the Avicii logo hand-carved on an actual rock. This monument and cover photo are homage to Avici’s iconic music that will last forever like a rock. The rocks were taken from Bjarlov in the Sköne region of Sweden, where Avici spent his childhood, and have also released a video showing the production of the rocks.

To commemorate the release of this work, UNIVERSAL MUSIC STORE HARAJUKU on Takeshita Street in Harajuku will be holding Japan’s first Avici POP UP STORE for a limited time until Thursday, May 22nd. Original items such as T-shirts, hoodies, and caps using Avici’s iconic logos and visuals will be on sale. The target CD shops are running a campaign for older CDs. Those who have purchased the previously released Japanese CD of Avicii, will receive a sticker sheet (10cm x 10cm) with four jacket photos on a first-come, first-served basis, and Amazon.co.jp will give away a mega jacket instead of a sticker sheet. The results of the song popularity poll have also been announced, and a playlist has been released that compiles the top 50 songs, including Avicii’s songs and the songs he participated in.

About Avici

Tim Burkling, also known as Avicii, was born in Stockholm, Sweden, revolutionized the world of electronic dance music (EDM) as a visionary artist/producer/dj.

His pioneering style, combining electronic beats with soulful melody, not only bridged the various genres, but also moved the hearts of fans around the world. The first time he received worldwide fame was his 2011 hit song, “Revels.” With this song, which became an anthem that symbolizes a generation, he has secured his position as one of the most creativity artists in the contemporary music world.

Throughout his career, Avicii released iconic tracks one after another, including Wake Me Up, Hay Brother, The Nights, and Waiting for Love. The songs have been streamed billions of times in total, and have won numerous charts around the world. His debut album, True (2013), which adds elements of EDM to folk, country, and pop, showed the world how versatile he is, and earned high praise from a critical perspective. The next second album, Stories (2015), was also a film that showed his ability to challenge all limits, and Tim (2019), released after he passed away, was highly praised as a heartfelt work that celebrated his artistic talent.

Avicii’s talent has been recognized worldwide and has given him numerous honors, including the MTV Music Awards (2 awards), the Billboard Music Awards (1 award), the US Grammy Awards (2 awards), and the World Music Awards (1 awards). He was also named multiple times by DJ Mag magazine as one of the world’s top DJs, and was the first electronic music artist to headline Radio City Music Hall.
