Listen to Avicii’s latest single "SOS" here: https://Avicii.lnk.to/SOS
[fquote]Aloe Blacc said: “I feel like SOS was a song that was probably ahead of its time for when he wrote it. He wrote these lyrics obviously about some of his battles and I think it’s a really important topic to approach and to share, especially with his visibility and his access to ears and hearts. To give people the words to be able to say ’I need help.’”
Lyrics
"Can you hear me SOS
Help me put my mind to rest
Two times clear again I'm acting low
A pound of weed and a bag of blow
can feel your love pulling me up from the underground
I don't need my drugs
We could be more than just part time lovers
I can feel your touch picking me up from the underground
I don't need my drugs
We could be more than just part time lovers
We could be more than just part time lovers
We could be more than just part time lovers
I get robbed of all my sleep
As my thoughts begin to bleed
I’d let go but I don't know how
I don't know how but I need to now
I can feel your love pulling me up from the underground
I don't need my drugs
We could be more than just part time lovers
I can feel your touch picking me up from the underground
I don't need my drugs
We could be more than just part time lovers
(We could be)
We could be more than just part time lovers
(More than, more than, yeah, more than lovers)
We could be more than just part time lovers
Can you hear me SOS
Help me put my mind to rest"

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"] As SOS was finalised from other artists then we shouldn't call it an Avicii track. In my personal opinion his track and his album should be named "Inspired/Influenced by Avicii" rather than being a track of someone that hasn't finished it on his own and we don't know how he could finish it if he was still alive. I understand that his family is 100% behind this project but still they don't know how the track would sound if he was still alive. Maybe before the release date he could just erase it or change it completely.
SOS is very commercially driven track that targets the radio and Spotify playlists and is less oriented for the dancefloor. Avicii started his own little revolution in pop dance music with simple but infectious tracks including unforgettable melodies and clever arrangement with impressive feel good vibes. While the melody on SOS seems to inherit traits from Avicii's previous tracks the rest of the song is floating and flowing grooves and sunkissed easy listening pop trap/bass music. The vocals by Aloe Blacc are incredible and his voice uplifts the whole track to the next level with his deeply emotional performance that shines for sure. The track is extremely catchy, infectious and will become easily a global smash. Looking forward for some club versions soon. PureGold. Love It [/content]
