Listen now: Avicii hooks up with Nile Rodgers and Adam Lambert for new

The Swedish DJ has made the song available online as a teaser for forthcoming album True.

2013 has been quite a year for Avicii, and you might think he’d want to sit back and chill out and take stock of his successes. You’d be wrong! The Swedish music master is about to release his debut album True, and he’s showing it off in fine style with a funktastic collaboration with American Idol’s glitziest contestant and a legend who’s having a pretty hot 2013 himself.

Avicii – Tim Bergling on Sundays and when he’s being told off by his gran – has teamed up with Adam Lambert and Chic superstar and CPF of Daft Punk and Pharrell, Nile Rodgers, for Lay Me Down, and has premiered the track online to give us an idea of what we can expect from his album, which is released on Monday (17 September).

Listen to Lay Me Down now:

The album is also set to include Avicii’s massive Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart Wake Me Up, and the new single You Make Me.

Wake Me Up is still the UK’s most listened to track, topping the Official Streaming Chart for a seventh week this week – equalling his pal Nile Rodgers’ record. Nile helped Daft Punk take Get Lucky to the top of the Streaming Chart for seven weeks earlier in 2013. (Bastille’s Hey Pompeii also made it seven weeks at the top. Well done, guys!)

So far, Wake Me Up has sold 877,000 copies. Get Lucky has sold over 1.2 million copies – but we’re sure Nile and Avicii aren’t counting.

Will Lay Me Down get a full release and be a first Number 1 single in the UK for Adam Lambert? Who knows? But Avicii and Nile have both had Number 1s this year – they really should give Adam a turn too, right?
