This is strictly my own opinion and I don’t try new music very often. But there is a performer from Sweden named “Avicii” (pronounced A-VEE**'**-SHE). He is described as an “electronic musician”. Avicii may be his name or it may be the name of his band. I’m not certain. Sometimes the lead singer is male and sometimes female and sometimes several people sing together.
I’m hoping you may not have heard of him before because when you listen to his music for the first time, I think you will likely have a very enjoyable experience. I would like to recommend a few of his songs to you in particular. These are especially great.
- The Nights
- Addicted to You
- Waiting for Love
- The Days
You may already know of this music. If so, I’d appreciate if you could recommend any of his other songs to me.
I suppose his music could be described as mostly Rock - but it’s a very thoughtful Rock - not at all heavy or metalic. It often has all kinds of other influences like Reggae and Rap. I think he often plays together with other musicians. About one third of his music is not really rock. I don’t know how to describe it any better except to say that it’s truly delicious. If you like these songs, you might try his album “Stories”. The debut album was called “True”. Just beautiful music - with a beat!
I want to warn you there is one terrible collection of songs you should avoid. It is terrible because although they play some of their great music, there is an announcer who begins each song by saying, “A-VEE-SHE Live from Ultra 2000 in 2015” or something like that. It sounds like it was recorded at some concert and someone is doing some advertising. But it gets terrible after you’ve heard it a few times.
In any event, I hope you enjoy him as much as I do.
