Aloe Blacc dedica nueva canción a Avicii

En el año transcurrido desde la muerte inesperada del DJ sueco Avicii, las condolencias de los fanáticos, colaboradores y contemporáneos realmente no se han detenido.

Hoy, el colaborador de toda la vida Aloe Blacc ha anunciado el lanzamiento de su nueva canción ‘Things You Left Behind’ en dedicación a lo que habría sido el 30 cumpleaños de Avicii.

Blacc publicó el homenaje a través de Instagram con un clip de la nueva canción. Las letras sinceras reflejan la estrecha relación que los dos artistas compartieron. Además, Blacc observó algunos consejos importantes aprendidos de nada menos que el propio Avicii. “Ignora las opiniones externas. Las críticas están en todas partes«, escribió. «En última instancia, la integridad en una obra de arte recae en el creador y en nadie más«.

Tim Bergling fue encontrado muerto en Muscat, Omán, el 20 de abril de 2018 a la tierna edad de 28 años.

La pérdida de una figura tan prominente en el mundo de la música electrónica dejó a la comunidad conmocionada y devastada. Sin embargo, pocos habían sido parte de los colaboradores más notorios de Avicii además de Blacc. Cantó la voz de ‘Wake Me Up’, que fue uno de los principales éxitos de Avicii en Estados Unidos.

Today would have been Tim Bergling’s 30th birthday. The news of his passing stunned me as it did all who were moved by his music and I am terribly sad that he is no longer with us. When I heard he was gone my heart immediately went out to his family and the words to this song came to me. I had only spent moments on stage and in the studio with him, but his family had spent years watching him grow. As a father of two young children myself I couldn’t imagine the tragedy of living beyond them and having to gather the things they have left behind. I thought I would take today, Tim’s birthday, to remember and to share what I learned about art from him. Take the risk. As an artist, if ever you feel nervous about something, it’s better to take the risk than to regret it. When we created «Wake Me Up» there was no blueprint for the combination of sounds and no example of success to rely on. Lead rather than follow. Mavericks don’t follow trends, they create them. Tim reminded me of what I learned so well in my experience during the golden era of Hip Hop, which is to create your own style. When others begin to use your style, just keep it fresh and switch it up. Be brave and bold. I know Tim was way more comfortable in the studio than in most other places that music took him. But he learned to step out and embrace millions of fans with his live performances. I imagine the most fearful performance would have been the debut of the music from TRUE at Ultra. He was nervous, but he did it anyway. While other performers had the usual lasers, pyro and girls in bikinis, Tim shared the stage with musicians and singers that helped him craft a groundbreaking album. Ignore outside opinions. Criticisms are everywhere and they are increasingly negative rather than constructive. It’s important to listen to your inner voice and have confidence in the art you create. The few trusted voices in your inner circle can be helpful, but when it comes to art, always trust your gut over others. Ultimately, the integrity in a work of art lies with the creator and no one else. The most important thing I think I learned from working with Tim was to embrace collaboration. Rest in peace, Tim
