And Finally TURNING JAPANESE


FROM his 2011 all conquering track ‘Levels’, which at one point seemed to be in every DJ’s playlist, to being joined onstage by Madonna at Ultra Music Festival in 2012, Swedish DJ and producer Avicii has been rising to the top with all the speed of a NASA rocket. His most recent single, ‘Wake Me Up’, combined his unmistakable signature synth sound with country music, a move possibly inspired by Madonna herself who did the same over a decade ago with ‘Don’t Tell Me’. Yet Avicii didn’t stop there, recruiting Aloe Blacc, a rapper and soul singer previously


signed to underground LA hip-hop label Stones Throw Records, to add yet another point of entry to EDM’s ever growing popular appeal.


Hitting number one around the world from the UK to Australia, it’s this track that opens his debut album ‘True’, which is released on 17th September on Universal. With its affirmations of youth, unity and love, this is a rallying call for the thousands of kids switched on to the sensory overload of EDM, but how does the rest of the album stand up?
