To illuminate the origins of Avicii’s final songs, and to speak more candidly about his suicide, his father sat for his first formal interview since his son’s death.
A full album, titled simply “Tim,” is due out in June, and its first track, “SOS,” arrives on April 10. The family, still very much grieving, is also breaking its nearly yearlong silence with two announcements: the arrival of newly completed Avicii music and the formation of a charitable organization called the Tim Bergling Foundation that will support groups involved with mental health and suicide prevention. A statement from his family at the time stated, “He could not go on,” and while they still decline to go into the details of his death, they are publicly acknowledging the death was a suicide. Avicii, the genre-redefining dance-pop songwriter and producer of global hits like “Levels” and “Wake Me Up” - died last April 20 at the age of 28 during a vacation in Muscat, Oman. The “he” Falk referred to - Tim Bergling, a.k.a.
Would he like this? What would he have done?” “It was really hard not to criticize yourself the whole time. “I was trying to produce through someone else’s eyes and ears - someone who’s not here,” he said with vexed intensity, while sitting at his control board.
STOCKHOLM - For the last six months, the music producer Carl Falk has been venturing into his dark and cloistered recording studio in central Stockholm to collaborate with a ghost.
