‘AVICII FOREVER’ compilation released with new single, ‘Let’s Ride Away’: Listen

‘AVICII FOREVER’, a new Best Of compilation featuring 19 tracks produced by the late EDM star, has been released. 

The posthumous release includes a number of Avicii’s biggest hits, including ‘Wake Me Up’, ‘Waiting for Love’, and ‘Levels’. 

The compilation also includes the newly released single ‘Let’s Ride Away’, which features vocals from Elle King. The track was written and produced by Avicii in collaboration with Luke Laird, Carl Falk and the award-winning country musician Kasey Musgraves. You can listen to it below. 

Speaking about the track, Falk said: “Tim wasn’t just a unique artist, he was a once-in-a-generation songwriter and producer with an unmatched gift for turning any sound into something unmistakably his own. ‘Let’s Ride Away’ captures that perfectly. It’s one of those rare songs where it blends organic, roots-inspired elements with his signature melodic style in a way that feels both fresh and undeniably Avicii. Releasing it now gives even more people the chance to experience that brilliance – maybe even for the first time.”

Laird added: “Tim had that perfect balance of humility and confidence in the studio. He gave his collaborators the freedom to be creative and at the same time, paid close attention to the best parts of the melody and lyrics and accentuated that. Working on ‘Let’s Ride Away’ together was a true joy. I think he would be really happy with the way it turned out. I know he loved it the day we wrote it and Elle delivered an incredible vocal and stayed true to the melody but also put her own unique spin on it.”

Announced in April, this is the latest in a run of posthumous work by Avicii, who tragically died by suicide at the age of 28 in 2018. Other works released since then have included the 2019 album, ‘TIM’, singles such as ‘SOS’ and ‘Tough Love’, and the NERVO collaboration ‘Don’t Give Up On Us’. 

Back in February, a previously unreleased version of Avicii’s ‘Forever Yours’ was officially released. ‘Forever Yours – Tim’s 2016 Ibiza Version’, which features vocals from Sandro Cavazza, first appeared My Last Show, one of two recently released Netflix documentaries alongside I’m Tim, which presented his last-ever performance at Ushuaïa Ibiza in August 2016 in full. Sandro Cavazza later put out a statement disapproving of the release, saying that he did not give permission for it be released as a single. 

Earlier this year, it was reported that Avicii’s former manager, Arash “Ash” Pournouri, had filed a defamation lawsuit against Levan Tsikurishvili, the filmmaker behind the 2017 documentary Avicii: True Stories.
