Avicii – The Nights

Now undeniably a global star and one of the world’s most sought after DJs to boot, Avicii is proud to present new single ‘The Nights’ – the first material to be taken from eagerly awaited follow up album ‘Stories’. With the full album release to follow later in 2015, ‘The Nights’ is a testament to Avicii’s consistently evolving musical ethos and a single that feels ready to build on the phenomenal success of ‘True’, which has now sold over 5 million copies worldwide.
 
Already boasting well over an incredible 28.5 million streams via Spotify since first surfacing in December and entering the top 10 on the iTunes chart with limited radio support – an incredible feat achieved purely on the basis of how his fans have reacted – ‘The Nights’ taps into the emotionally-charged, feel-good aesthetic that Avicii has made all his own. Polished and well-rounded, it demonstrates a growing maturity in Avicii’s production remit and through melding traditional folk instrumentation and synth-rich electronica with a typically powerful, anthemic chorus, offers an insight into what to expect from new album ‘Stories’ in 2015.
 
With ‘True’ boasting 2013’s fastest-selling single in ‘Wake Me Up!’, charting at #1 in a mammoth 84 territories in the process, it’s legacy has grown to completely redefine the stylistic underpinnings of contemporary dance music. Immersing acoustic and folk sensibilities within an entirely new and electronic setting, Avicii has not only established a sound unique to himself, but a sound that resonates powerfully with global audiences.
