Out now: 'Tim,' the posthumous album by AVICII

AVICII: TIM, an album of new music from late EDM DJ/producer/musician and songwriter AVICII (real name: Tim Bergling), is available to stream now; on CD, Friday.

When announcing his retirement from touring in 2016, Bergling wrote: “I will however never let go of music. I will continue to speak to my fans through it.”

Before his untimely passing last year, Bergling had completed several of the 12 tracks on TIM, including “Heaven”. Tim and Chris Martin wrote and recorded “Heaven” in 2014, with Tim producing the final version in 2016 – it hasn’t been touched since. With the exception of the last verse which was added after Bergling’s death, “Heart Upon My Sleeve (feat. Imagine Dragons)” was finished.

Other tracks were 90% complete and final work on them was performed by a trio of production teams who had collaborated with Bergling through his career, co-wrote many of the new songs with him, and closely followed the detailed instructions he had left behind.

“SOS (Feat Aloe Blacc)”, has amassed 250 million streams globally since release last month, peaked at #3 on the Spotify Global Top 200 chart and tops the BBC Radio1 A-List chart and Billboard’s Dance/Electronic songs chart, as well as reaching #1 airplay in Germany, Netherlands, and Sweden.
