Stories

Avicii, global superstar and an artist who single-handedly redefined the boundaries of contemporary dance music with debut, multi award-winning album 'True' in 2013, is to release much-anticipated follow up LP 'Stories'. Comprised of 14 new original tracks, including lead album single 'Waiting For Love' - a track that peaked at #1 on iTunes in 22 countries earlier this summer - 'Stories' represents a natural progression in Avicii's unique, ever-blossoming sound.

"All the songs have a story I wanted to tell," says the Grammy-nominated producer, song-writer and DJ (aka Tim Bergling). The new music on 'Stories' is informed by Bergling's experiences since the release of 'True'; experiences which vary radically, from the elation of playing for 80,000 hometown fans in Stockholm and selling 500,000 tickets on his 'True' Tour, to having an illness that necessitated the cancellation of a year's worth of tour dates. Rather than making a total departure from 'True', the new album builds on it. Bergling says 'Stories' "refines what I didn't feel was perfect last time. I think there are more layers to the songs than before, and every song has been written on acoustic guitar, so the structure is different."
