The posthumous collection that honors the legacy of Tim Bergling — not just through music, but through memory.
On May 16, 2025, the world received a deeply personal gift: Avicii Forever, a tribute compilation that goes beyond nostalgia. Six years after the release of Tim, the first posthumous album from Tim Bergling — known to millions as Avicii — this new collection aims not only to preserve his legacy, but to offer one final piece of the artist we lost too soon.
A journey through 20 tracks — and a little more light
The album features 20 songs, a blend of timeless anthems and emotional highs from Avicii’s career. From global hits like “Wake Me Up” (feat. Aloe Blacc) and “Hey Brother”, to “Levels”, “Without You” (feat. Sandro Cavazza), “SOS” (feat. Aloe Blacc), “Lonely Together” (feat. Rita Ora), and “Heart Upon My Sleeve” (feat. Imagine Dragons), each track feels like a sonic snapshot of a life that transformed electronic music forever.
“Let’s Ride Away”: A gift we didn’t see coming
Among the most poignant moments on the album is “Let’s Ride Away”, an unreleased song co-written by Avicii with Kacey Musgraves and Luke Laird, completed this year with vocals from Elle King. A haunting fusion of folk and EDM, the track is a testament to Avicii’s genre-blending spirit and quiet emotional depth.
7 years gone — but not forgotten
The album’s physical edition includes another rarity: “Forever Yours (Tim’s 2016 Ibiza Version)”, a live favorite finally receiving its official studio release. The track channels the vibrant energy of the last creative period in Ibiza that shaped some of Avicii’s most soulful work.
From grief to gratitude — the fans respond
Avicii Forever sparked an outpouring of emotion from fans who saw in the collection a chance to remember, reconnect, and relive. Still, it also sparked ethical questions common to posthumous releases — where is the line between honoring an artist’s vision and crossing into exploitation?
Avicii Forever is a musical offering — and a message
This isn’t just a greatest hits collection. It’s a reminder to look back up at the sky that Tim once lit with sound. To listen, to feel, and to say — once more — thank you.
