Almost one year after the death of Avicii (born Tim Bergling), his team released a new posthumous album entitled Tim, following “SOS” and “Tough Love” singles.
According to a press release, the Swedish musician was close to completing a new album before his death. He left a collection of “nearly finished songs along with notes, email conversations and text messages about the music.” His songwriting collaborators have continued the process, attempting to align with his vision as closely as possible.
Proceeds from the album will go to the nonprofit Tim Bergling Foundation, which his family started not long after his passing, in order to raise awareness of mental illness and suicide.
The DJ’s last album was 2015’s Stories. He collaborated with artists like Rita Ora, Adam Lambert, David Guetta, Lenny Kravitz, Madonna. Buy/stream it here.
