Stories is the second studio album by Avicii, released in October 2015 on PRMD / Island Records and self-produced by Avicii. Conceived as an album in the traditional singer-songwriter sense rather than a DJ album, the record features a rotating cast of vocalists including Chris Martin, Alex Ebert, Sandro Cavazza, and Zac Brown, contributing to an unusually diverse and cohesive pop record. 'Waiting for Love' became a top-ten hit across Europe and confirmed Avicii's continued ability to create anthemic radio pop within an electronic framework. The album reflected Bergling's desire to be taken seriously as a songwriter and producer rather than simply a festival DJ, and its warm, melodic quality distinguished it from the more aggressive EDM mainstream. Stories was a critical and commercial success that showed Avicii deepening his artistic vision beyond the dance floor.
