Stories is the second studio album by top Swedish DJ, turned producer Avicii whose hits have included Wake Me Up and Hey Brother.
Having released the official lead single for the album Waiting for Love to resounding chart success, peaking at number 1 on the iTunes Singles Chart in a whopping 22 countries earlier this summer, expect more of the same from this cool, electronic DJ´s latest EP.
Comprising of 14 original tracks including For a Better Day another sure fired smash. “It´s going to be a lot more song-orientated,” Tim Bergiling hinted of the album.
Avicii has been playing a lot of the tracks on the album in various forms during his sets over the past year, including Broken Arrows his collaboration with the Zac Brown Band, which was premiered on Tiësto’s Club Life earlier in the summer.
There are some noticeable omissions from the album though including his track Heaven with Chris Martin, but it may have been renamed True Believer, which the Coldplay frontman is credited on.
Avicii is fast making waves on the mainstream music circuit with these tie-ups, reminiscent of David Guetta´s career. Some pundits are even claiming he could be as big as the Guetta Blaster.
Fans of Avicii´s first album True will not be disappointed with this follow up album.
