New York, NY – January 22, 2013 – There’s no doubt about it. AVICII, aka Tim Bergling, is most definitely “The One.” The two-time Grammy Award-nominated A-list DJ and producer recently revealed his brand new single with Dutch house legend Nicky Romero, “I Could Be The One” (LE7ELS/Casablanca). Now, the track officially hits iTunes and other digital retailers January 22, 2013.
On Christmas Eve, AVICII vs NICKY ROMERO released the official music video, and the exuberant message of personal freedom has already amassed nearly 8.5 million YouTube/VEVO views.
Originally (and fittingly) titled ‘Nicktim,’ this alchemic collaboration between two of dance music’s finest has had fans salivating since the instrumental was first previewed on Pete Tong’s ‘Essential Selection’ show back in February 2012, following months of speculation. Pairing Avicii’s infectious melodic talents with Romero’s big, high-energy sound, the result is a bold progressive house anthem from two of EDM’s fastest rising stars. Complete with an exquisite top line from Swedish pop singer Noonie Bao, ‘I Could Be The One’ looks set to be one of the dance-pop crossover phenomenon’s biggest success stories as it has already infiltrated key Top 40 stations and is #1 on Beatport home page leading up to the wide release.
About Avicii
Avicii will have an ubiquitous presence this year , not only headlining Ultra Music Festival, he’s also got his very own “Avicii Stage” with numerous surprises planned for fans. His Ralph Lauren branding campaign also enters its next phase in the Spring.
Earlier this month, Avicii launched his “Avicii x You” collaborative project, encouraging fans and producers globally to craft and send beats and sounds that will comprise his next track. In just one week, he received over 5000 sound submissions, from 2600 artists from more than 100 countries around the world. This is quickly becoming the world’s largest artist collaboration project, being featured in CNN, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, MTV.com, and countless other sites and blogs. The artist and all other royalty participants in the final track have agreed to donate their royalties to the charity foundation, House For Hunger founded in 2011 by AVICII and Ash Pournouri to fight the constantly growing hunger problem worldwide.
Avicii’s 2011 House for Hunger Tour benefitted Feeding America to the tune of $1 million.
Last year proved to be nothing sort of remarkable for AVICII. He headlined Ultra Music Festival, Coachella, and Austin City Limits. He jumped to #3 on the DJ Mag Top 100 Vote, was ranked #3 DJ on Forbes DJ List, and reached #2 Musician on Forbes Most Powerful Artists Under 30. “Levels” became one of the most-played tracks in the world and netted him a second Grammy nomination. His headline tour sold out in hours, and he was the first electronic artist to play Radio City Music Hall.
That’s all precisely why he’s “The One” though. AVICII is still reaching new levels, and he wants everyone to join him on this trip.
About Nicky Romero
Thus far, Nicky Romero’s 2012 has been a year emblematic of a world’s top-tier DJ. Aside from “Wild One Two” – the anthemic collaboration with David Guetta and Sia under the newly established record label Jack Back – Nicky has released countless other dance floor juggernauts such as “Toulouse”, “Generation 303”, “Camorra” and of course “Nicktim”. Unlike like many other producers, each of Romero’s releases reasserts the claim that he is here to stay. Having frequented the festival circuit with headline gigs at the likes of UMF Miami, Energy in Holland, Electric Zoo in New York, and Belgium’s Tomorrowland – not forgetting his residency at the prestigious Marquee club in Las Vegas – this has been one hell of a year for the now star-studded Dutch artist.
