Fresh off the success of “Levels,” the 2011 smash that became his first song to chart in the U.S. and helped establish EDM’s foothold in the country, Avicii wasn’t content with making more of the same thumpy, synthy hits upon which he was starting to build his career. In early 2013, he premiered “Wake Me Up” — the bluegrass-, country-, soul- and rock-infused lead track of his album True, released later that year, with its iconic Aloe Blacc chorus — in front of a puzzled crowd at the EDM festival Ultra in Miami.
“It really shook people around and shocked them and grabbed people’s attention,” he told me at the time. “I really wanted to play around with the elements of country that are really amazing. … It’s a way to advance the [EDM] genre so it doesn’t get stuck. Which I think it does, to an extent.”..........
