<\/div>\n

Avicii<\/a> and Aloe Blacc<\/a> reunite on the new song \u201cSOS,\u201d the first offering from the late producer\u2019s posthumous album,<\/a> Tim<\/a>,<\/em> out June 6th. The song was accompanied by a music video featuring words of praise for the artist born Tim Bergling from his fans.<\/p>\n

The track boasts a lithe pop groove made out of synths that twist and tumble atop a beat of crisp drums. Though the song features a quintessential EDM build, there\u2019s something poignant and understated about its apex as Blacc sings, \u201cI can feel your touch picking me up from the underground\/And I don\u2019t need my drugs, we could be more than just part time lovers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like \u2018SOS\u2019 was a song that was probably ahead of its time for when he wrote it,\u201d Blacc said of the song in a statement. \u201cHe wrote these lyrics obviously about some of his battles and I think it\u2019s a really important topic to approach and to share, especially with his visibility and his access to ears and hearts. To give people the words to be able to say \u2019I need help.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

In a recent statement, Avicii\u2019s team said the songs that will appear on Tim<\/em> were \u201c75 to 80 percent done\u201d when the producer\/DJ died by suicide<\/a> in Muscat, Oman last April. A variety of Avicii collaborators helped complete the album, including Albin Nedler and Kristoffer Fogelmark, who worked on \u201cSOS.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe had a completely different way of playing piano and keyboard,\u201d Nedler said in a statement. \u201cAs a result his fingers would sometimes strike an unusual key, which added to his unique sound. Tim\u2019s fingerprints are literally across the entirety of \u2018SOS.’\u201d<\/p>\n
