Avicii tried his hand at some pop-rock recently. The Swedish DJ got in the studio with his friend Daniel Adams-Ray, who performs under the musical moniker HUMAN. The two worked on a track together called “GHOST,” which just hit streaming platforms via YO Running Club AB and Universal Records.
It’s an anthem with big, banging drums and booming vocals. It’s almost got some Queen in its sound. It’s a love song that tackles the trickiest part of breaking up: learning how to move on. It’s definitely not a straight-up dance music song, and there aren’t any festival drops, just quality tuneage and production between friends.
Avicii said the pair worked on the song a couple years ago. It’s out as a standalone single on Spotify. Listen to “GHOST” below.
