More than just a playlist of past hits, Avicii Forever is a tribute album with soul. Dropping May 16, 2025, the compilation marks a powerful reminder of the late Tim Bergling’s legacy, pulling together 19 of his most beloved tracks—and one never-before-heard gem that fans are already buzzing about.
Let’s get right to the heart of it: the project is led by a brand new track titled "Let's Ride Away." Originally co-written by Avicii and country-pop star Kacey Musgraves, the finished version features the raspy, emotional vocals of Elle King. It's a genre-bending blend of Avicii’s euphoric electronic melodies and the earthy, rootsy texture of folk-pop—showcasing the creative directions he was exploring before his untimely passing.
The rest of the tracklist is a who’s-who of Avicii classics. From early anthems like "Levels" and "Silhouettes" to the genre-fusing bangers like "Hey Brother" and the ultra-emotive "Heaven," the album reads like a diary of dance music’s golden years. And yes, "Wake Me Up," the song that took electronic music into mainstream country-pop territory, is right there leading the charge.
Here’s a taste of the full vibe:

The compilation is the result of a collaboration between Tim's estate, his family, and longtime label and production partners. It’s more than just a commercial release—it’s a curated reminder of Avicii’s artistry, his reach, and the way his music continues to connect generations across genres.
Degenerate Raver’s Take:
Look, we’ve all heard too many slapdash posthumous releases. But this one? It feels different. It feels intentional. If you were there when "Levels" first dropped and EDM took over your life, this one’s going to hit you in the feels. And if you weren’t—well, welcome to the church of Avicii. The sermon starts May 16.
