After years of existing only in fragments and unauthorized online leaks, Avicii<\/a>‘s long-awaited song “Let’s Ride Away” is officially releasing as part of a new compilation, Avicii Forever<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Due out May 16th via Interscope, Avicii Forever<\/em> will feature many of the Swedish EDM icon’s most prized anthems alongside the previously unreleased track, which features vocals from Grammy-nominated artist Elle King. The record represents one of Avicii’s final creative endeavors prior to his tragic death by suicide in 2018 at the age of 28.<\/p>\n

“Let’s Ride Away” originated from a collaboration between Avicii, whose real name was Tim Bergling, and country music superstar Kacey Musgraves. Though the original version featured Musgraves’ vocals, it never made it onto an official release.<\/p>\n

The new version has been finalized by Carl Falk, a longtime collaborator of Bergling’s, who completed the mixing and recorded King’s vocals. Multiple versions of the song had leaked online prior to this official release.<\/p>\n

Avicii Forever<\/em> celebrates Bergling’s enduring legacy by curating a selection of his most beloved songs, including 2011’s breakthrough “Levels,” which defined a generation of EDM, and 2013’s “Wake Me Up” and “Hey Brother.” The compilation also draws from 2019’s posthumous album Tim<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Avicii Forever<\/em> is a collaborative effort between Bergling’s estate, Interscope and Pophouse, which in 2022 acquired 75% of his recording and publishing rights<\/a>. It marks another chapter in the investment firm’s ongoing efforts to preserve and celebrate the musical contributions of the late DJ, whose blend of EDM with elements of folk, country and pop helped redefine contemporary music in the 2010s.<\/p>\n

Pophouse is also currently developing a musical<\/a> about Avicii, whose life was the subject of a recent\u00a0high-profile, intimate Netflix documentary<\/a> released on New Year’s Eve 2024. Another documentary from the Academy Award-winning filmmaker Lawrence Bender is currently in production<\/a> and will feature “previously unreleased footage” recorded around the time of Bergling’s discovery and rise to fame.<\/p>\n

The reveal of\u00a0Avicii Forever <\/em>arrives just ahead of the seventh anniversary of Bergling’s death on April 20th, 2018. His collaborator on “Wake Me Up,” Aloe Blacc, has announced a streaming event<\/a> in remembrance.<\/p>\n

Avicii Forever <\/em>is due out May 16th, 2025. You can view the compilation’s trailer and full tracklist below.<\/p>\n
