True Reviews

Last week, Britney Spears has released a new single . It is a piece built entirely around a loop pounding on which Britney sings and speaks very little. It is not a pop song , not in the traditional sense of the term : it is pure dance and even the lightest . A piece like this, and there are also very similar to the last album of Madonna , at one time would have been only material from disco and radio specialist , but a few years (say, by the arrival of David Guetta with his successful collaborations ) a series of many pop stars have moved closer to the dance swapping the catchy melody with straight cash . The dance has responded in two ways: becoming heavier integrating dubstep or becoming retro (a good example is the Disclosure ) . A Swede , however , found a third way , and judging by the results obtained , it is the right one. In no time, DJ Avicii has become among the highest paid in the world and his first album ( "True" ) can only grow its status . He just turned 24 years old.
The single " Wake me up" is one of the best-selling songs of the year thanks to a formula unusual and , admittedly, brilliant: a banjo folk à la Mumford & Sons and a black soul voice alternating with colossal breakdown EDM to blow up the public. The trick works great , and is repeated in succession "Hey brother" with the voice of bluegrass Dan Tyminski , in " Addicted to you " with the folk singer-songwriter Audra Mae , and " Dear boy" with the help of promising Danish MØ ( whose style resembles that of Lana Del Rey ) .
In the second half of the album, banjo disappear , but leave room for other surprises. Nile Rodgers lends itself to two songs, along a path started in the 70s and again this year with Daft Punk : " Shame on me " and especially " Lay me down " (sung by American Idol Adam Lambert) draw a link with " Random access memories" imitating , rather than the sounds, the intentions. Curiously, the most classic house track of the collection is a cover of " Hope there's someone" Antony . And being one of the most beautiful songs of this era , it also works nell'ardito experiment asked her to sing in a thin voice Scandinavian surrounded by synthesizers and lasers.
When Avicii in March showed a preview of the album Ultra Music Festival in Miami , the reactions were divided between the " do not understand" and " you must die ." Soon after , the DJ was forced to explain in black and white , because he had brought the country to the EDM festival par excellence. Another artist you would be scared , it would shake the master's and started working from scratch on an album that, according to an audience of tens of thousands of people, had no chance . Six months later, "True" is still the compilation was supposed to be schizophrenic , is the work imperfect but effective way of those who want to destroy the divisions between the genders , it is the most ambitious mainstream album of the year and , above all, an international bestseller .
