American musician Aloe
Blacc who in 2013 teamed up with Avicii for a chart topping hit 'Wake Me Up!'
recently discussed working with Avicii, in an interview with Music Feeds. He
said the late Swedish EDM producer/DJ "cared deeply" about his music
rather than focusing on fame and fortune.
"And, when we worked together, we were extremely intent and focused
on the sound and idea that were in his head; that he wanted to get out. Working
with him, I could see that he truly cared deeply about the music that he was
making and not really so much about everything around it - the stardom and the
fame and the money. It was really about the craft; the art."
Reflecting on 'Wake Me Up!' which topped the charts in 22 countries, he
said, "It's still a song of celebrations and nostalgia, and hope for
the future. I think the hope for the future part is even stronger.
"Avicii's death has been a call to a lot of young folks for people
to take better care of themselves and surround themselves with people who are
looking out for their best interests."
Avicii passed away on April 20, 2018, at Muscat, Oman, at the age of 28.
