Avicii, global superstar and an artist who single-handedly redefined the boundaries of contemporary dance music with debut, multi award-winning album \u2018True\u2019 in 2013, is to release much-anticipated follow up LP \u2018Stories\u2019 on October 2nd. Comprised of 14 new original tracks, including lead album single \u2018Waiting For Love\u2019 - a track that peaked at #1 on iTunes in 22 countries earlier this summer - \u2018Stories\u2019 represents a natural progression in Avicii\u2019s unique, ever-blossoming sound. \r
\r
With debut album \u2018True\u2019 boasting some incredible figures - it has sold over 5 million copies worldwide, charted at #1 on iTunes in a mammoth 84 countries and boasted the fastest selling single of the whole of 2013 in \u2018Wake Me Up!\u2019 - Avicii has worked tirelessly to make \u2018Stories\u2019 an equally trailblazing record. \r
\r
Where much of his work on \u2018True\u2019 saw Avicii meld together acoustic instrumentation with contemporary electronic sounds, on \u2018Stories\u2019 he pushes this remit even further without sacrificing any of the anthemic, uplifting qualities that have come to define his music so resonantly. Lead single \u2018Waiting For Love\u2019, already an international chart hit in its own right, is a case in point, joining the dots between \u2018True\u2019 and \u2018Stories\u2019 perfectly. Big and bright on impact, the playful, dizzying melodies and emotive vocal hooks play to all Avicii\u2019s strengths, while offering a glance at what the rest of the album has to offer. Second album single \u2018For A Better Day\u2019 - to be released on August 28th - continues along this theme too, championing a sound that has become such a vital part of Avicii\u2019s artistic persona. \r
\r
Avicii\u2019s willingness to experiment is also a defining influence right across \u2018Stories\u2019, none more so than on the soulful, jazz-slanted \u2018Touch Me\u2019 and on the metallic, hip hop flavours of \u2018Pure Grinding\u2019 - both a testament to how much his outlook has continued to evolve over the last two years. Guest vocals are also an exciting feature, with Coldplay\u2019s Chris Martin a standout collaborator on emphatic, feel-good single \u2018True Believer\u2019 and Wyclef Jean lending his trademark vocals to the heartfelt guitar melodies of \u2018You Can\u2019t Catch Me\u2019. Tying together his own \u2018Stories\u2019, Avicii even pays homage to his hometown on the beautifully mellow, dreamy pop of \u2018Somewhere In Stockholm\u2019 - a track that gives the album a strong, personal reference point.\r
\r
With \u2018Waiting For Love\u2019 now having already amassed well over 135 million streams via Spotify since it\u2019s release, \u2018Stories\u2019 therefore feels well positioned to be received as one of the defining albums of 2015. A triumph in every sense, it builds on the groundbreaking impact of \u2018True\u2019 and feeds into the buzz that has seen Avicii become the 10th most streamed artist on Spotify in history, confirming his status as one of the world\u2019s most influential dance music artists of his generation.\r
