Meet EDM’s Anti-Hero — Avicii Follows an Uncharted Path on First Full-Length Album, ‘True’

What was the process like reaching out to each of them and explaining your vision? How did you connect with Nile Rodgers, who's on a roll right now with Daft Punk? And likewise, how did the Adam Lambert collaboration come into the picture?

Once we worked out who I would work with, everything happened relatively fast…We sat down to discuss our ideas, and then laid it all down in the studio.

I shared ideas about incorporating guitar with Mike Einziger, who performs and/or writes on three tracks on the album, and Nile brought Adam [Lambert] in, and his voice was perfect for the track. I listen to so many kinds of music, I brought my openness into the studio, and it seemed everyone had something that fit with my vision.

I'd been talking to Nile for over a year, and we talked about working together. He's one of the most talented people I've ever met. I'm so lucky to have worked with him. And with Adam, I wasn't even thinking that he was going to be on the track…But his voice is incredible, and he captured something on the first take.

Have you been doing more with Adam lately, beyond the new track? There have been pics tweeted in the last couple weeks, of the two of you in the studio. Are you working on Adam's album?

I stopped by a big charity event [recently] that Nile put together, so Nile and I spent time in the studio again…and Adam came by also. I don't know what will happen to what we did in the studio together that day, but it was really cool working with him again.

Do you have a personal favorite track right now on your new album? If so, which track is it?

I'd have to say "Hey Brother" — the bluegrass elements just have a really cool and alluring sound.

Avicii's 'True' review: EDM that crosses over

For "Lay Me Down," Avicii assembles a formidable crew to combine funk with EDM, using an impressive Nile Rodgers guitar groove and Adam Lambert's potent vocals to build a crazy, cross-generational dance jam that's somehow both current and timeless. He uses Dan Tyminski (of "O Brother, Where Art Thou's" soundtrack) to bring country-tinged drama to "Hey Brother," while Audra Mae helps turn "Dear Boy" into a super-catchy mix of Lana Del Rey and Zedd's "Clarity."
