In his too-brief career, Swedish DJ/producer Avicii became one of the most dynamic figures of the early 2010s electronic dance boom. A new collection, sanctioned by his estate, will honor that body of work.

Avicii Forever offers, on CD or two LPs, 20 tracks from his albums and EPs, including the worldwide hits "Wake Me Up," "Levels," "Hey Brother" and "The Days." The set also includes a previously unreleased track, "Let's Ride Away," featuring vocals by Elle King. Physical copies of the album will also include the recent single "Forever Yours (Tim's 2016 Ibiza Version)," an alternate version of a posthumous track completed in 2020 by fellow electronic hitmaker Kygo. The track, which samples Sting's "Shape of My Heart," was played at many of Avicii's latter-day performances, including his final set, recently chronicled in the documentaries Avicii - I'm Tim and Avicii - My Last Show.

The man born Tim Bergling was barely out of his 20s when he burst onto the scene with "Levels," a pulse-pounding house track utilizing a vocal sample from Etta James' "Something's Got a Hold on Me." A chart-topper in his native Sweden and a Top 5 in the U.K., the track even eked out a placement on the Billboard Hot 100, an early signal of growing American interest in dance music. But Bergling's musical curiosity crossed genres and styles: his most popular song stateside was "Wake Me Up," which traded synth riffs with a rollicking acoustic guitar figure by Mike Einziger of Incubus and was toplined by a soulful vocal by U.K. singer Aloe Blacc. Both songs were highlights of his 2013 debut album True, which featured guest appearances by American Idol finalist Adam Lambert and iconic guitarist/producer Nile Rodgers on the fan favorite "Lay Me Down."

Bergling earned two Grammy nominations for Best Dance Recording, released another well-received album in 2015's Stories, and collaborated extensively, from pop luminaries like French DJ David Guetta and Rita Ora to enduring acts like Madonna and Coldplay. Unfortunately, the pressures of fame would weigh heavily on him: he kicked an addiction to painkillers at the height of his career, retired from touring in 2016 and, so consumed with the fear of further letting down listeners, took his own life a year later. He was only 28 years old. His influence was unusually vast: in the years to come, country crossover artists would welcome the kind of roots/beats crossovers that Avicii favored; Rodgers called him "one of the best, if not the best" songwriters he'd collaborated with, and even Eric Clapton - who never met the producer but was made aware of his work through his children - dedicated a version of "Jingle Bells" on a Christmas album to his memory.
