[One Year After His Shocking Sudden Death] AVICII's Posthumous Releases: Single ‘SOS’ on April 10, Album ‘TIM’ on June 6

On April 20, 2018, the EDM superstar AVICII, also known as Tim Berg, died.

Both AVICII himself and his work had a presence that could never be contained within the single genre of EDM.

I am not endorsing the “27 Club” (the coincidence that many rock stars died at age 27), but he unmistakably stood out like Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, and Kurt Cobain.

One year after that shocking sudden death, AVICII's posthumous single is apparently coming out on April 10, with an album on June 6.

Below are a loose translation and a quotation of the original.

When Tim Bergling passed away on April 20, 2018, he was close to completing a new album. He left behind a collection of nearly finished songs, along with notes, email conversations and text messages about the music.

The songwriters that Tim was collaborating with on this album have continued the process to get as close to his vision as possible.

Since Tim’s passing, the family decided not to keep the music locked away – instead they wanted to share it with his fans all around the world.

The single ”SOS” will be released on April 10 and the album, titled ”TIM”, on June 6.

Avicii’s net proceeds from the album will go to the nonprofit Tim Bergling Foundation and the purposes it will work for, among other things, to prevent mental illness and suicide.

With love,

Team Avicii

Avicii Tracks I Loved

The tracks most people know are probably Levels, I Could Be The One, Wake Me Up, The Nights, and Hey Brother, but these are the ones I personally liked.

Along with listening to his posthumous releases, it might be a good time to revisit his discography, which is full of classics.
