“Let’s Ride Away”: Avicii’s Posthumous Anthem Listen Now
Even from beyond, Avicii still knows how to move us.
Avicii Forever, the new posthumous compilation from the late Tim Bergling, isn’t just a greatest hits collection—it’s a curated emotional journey. Released via Interscope, the album spans 19 tracks, from the seismic anthem “Levels” to the genre-blending triumph of “Wake Me Up.” But its emotional center is “Let’s Ride Away,” a previously unreleased track featuring Elle King that feels less like a farewell and more like a spiritual continuation.
King’s gravelly, aching vocal performance wraps itself around lyrics about escape, self-discovery, and searching for belonging. The words land with weight, especially coming from an artist who wrestled so publicly—and tragically—with his place in the world. “If I get lost, I’ll meet you there,” King sings, as if echoing a promise Avicii once made to his fans: that no matter how far we drift, the music will always find us.
The production is unmistakably Avicii—uplifting but grounded, with a cinematic horn section and the kind of melodic lift that made him a mainstage icon. There’s a festival grandeur to the drop, but the emotion is intimate. It’s a reminder of what made him special: the ability to turn massive moments into personal ones.
Backed by his estate and Pophouse Entertainment, Avicii Forever is more than a tribute; it’s part of a larger effort to preserve his legacy, which also includes a musical and an upcoming documentary. These projects aim to honor his memory, but this album feels like him. It doesn’t just tell his story—it plays it.
Let’s Ride Away is the song you didn’t know you needed. And Avicii Forever is a reminder that while Tim Bergling may be gone, his music continues to offer us a place to return to—no matter how far we’ve wandered.
Just press play. He’ll meet you there.
