Avicii received a lot of flak and negative feedback when he first released his most recent album, True, as purists were saying that it was too "twangy" and did not stay true to the foundations of electronic music. Avicii laughed all the way to the bank as Top 40 radio embraced the new sound and his single "Wake Me Up" became the most streamed song on Spotify.
Now, rumors show that he is again working to expand the limits of electronic music as Rolling Stone reported that his upcoming album will feature, Jon Bon Jovi, Chris Martin from Coldplay, Billie Joe Armstron, Wyclef Jean, Matisyahu, and Serj Tankian from System of a Down. The album is set to be released later this year and include over 70 songs Avicii has been working on. When asked, he said the album will "be a lot more song oriented", seeming to stick with the direction of the genre as a whole.
