TRUE
True is the debut studio album by Swedish DJ and record producer Avicii. It was released on 13 September 2013 on CDand vinyl through PRMD Music, and Island Records. Avicii said that sonically, the album would move away from his electronic dance and house music sound on previous records, by incorporating elements of other genres such as country music. True was preceded by the release of the Aloe Blacc-assisted "Wake Me Up!" that featured a rare Marantz Enhanced Digital Stereo audio track and topped several charts around the world, and "You Make Me", which features vocals from Swedish artist Salem Al Fakir. -Wikipedia
Critic Reviews
Show All-
New York Times
It’s another escape into yesteryear by an artist carrying today — and tomorrow — on his shoulders.

Slant Magazine
The latter is particularly loathsome, adding obnoxious Frampton-esque vocal robotics to the braying din.
-
YourEDM
We almost certainly have a dance album. That much is true.
-
Rolling Stone
All of this proves that Avicii’s new sound is much more than a page from Moby’s Play book.

This would be a great remix album for fans of Avicii the master producer

True is a monolithically ho-hum endeavor - crossover brilliance, this is not.

PopMatters
True is an album that takes one type of music and moulds it into something completely different

Plugged in
path onto which Avicii and his various vocalists lead listeners becomes an increasingly brooding one
-
UPROXX
It”s a pretty safe bet to assume that Avicii will have the bluegrass EDM field all to himself, but he pulls it off.
-
Leave the world behind you
“True” is in general a good album but an even better debut album
-
TKC100
He stayed true to himself in creating the sound of True, and it won’t soon be forgotten.
