Data Insight
Tim is the only Avicii album assembled after his death. Tim Bergling holds co-writing credits on all 12 tracks, drawn from demos recorded between 2014 and 2018. Key collaborators include Vincent Pontare, Salem Al Fakir, Albin Nedler, Kristoffer Fogelmark, and Carl Falk, who recur across multiple tracks. Chris Martin co-wrote Heaven. The complex credits on Freak (which include Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty, Justin Vernon, and Sam Smith alongside Japanese composers) indicate the track incorporates sampled or licensed material.
Tim is the third and posthumous studio album by Avicii, released in June 2019 on PRMD / Virgin EMI and assembled by Avicii's family and collaborators following his death in April 2018. The album was completed from tracks that Bergling had been working on before his passing, with his collaborators and family deciding the final form of the record as a tribute to his artistry and memory. Features from Imagine Dragons, Kygo, Chris Martin, Sandro Cavazza, and others lend the album a celebratory tone that honors rather than mourns. 'SOS' with Aloe Blacc, released as the lead single, became a worldwide hit and a poignant reminder of Bergling's extraordinary pop instincts. Tim is both a beautiful final statement from a uniquely gifted producer and a reminder of the devastating loss of one of the most beloved artists of his generation.
