Review: Released alongside the Netflix documentary I'm Tim, this retrospective compilation stretches across the highs of Tim Bergling aka Avicii's output with a newly weighted poignancy. From festival-defining anthems like 'Levels' and 'Wake Me Up' to more introspective cuts like 'Lonely Together' and 'Heaven', it captures the emotional range that defined the Swedish artist's short but seismic career. The inclusion of previously unreleased material i including the wistful 'Let's Ride Away' and the 2016 Ibiza version of 'Forever Yours' i deepens the sense of unfinished brilliance, revealing sketches that still shimmer with intent. What emerges across the 21 tracks is less a victory lap than a reminder of how much Avicii changed the shape of mainstream dance music: layering acoustic intimacy with peak-time euphoria, wrangling EDM excess into pop structures, and making vulnerability sound colossal. It's a generous, if bittersweet, document of an artist still echoing in the music that followed.
