MØ has shared a new reimagining of Avicii’s ‘Wake Me Up’.
The Danish artist’s cover follows her recent single ‘Who Said’, marking another step in her ongoing musical journey ahead of new material expected next year.
Speaking about her connection to the late producer and her decision to cover the track, MØ explains: “Avicii’s music and life story has touched me deeply over the years. In 2012 in New York City at a weird rooftop party and to the tones of ‘Levels’, something about the unapologetic, almost aggressive energy mixed with a haunting emotional depth made me make up my mind to follow my dreams of becoming an artist, whatever the cost.”
“I was working with some of his friends out of his house in LA, in the days leading up to his passing. I remember having felt so honoured to be working out of this Scandinavian legend’s studio. He changed music, and he changed me. Forever I will be remembered, enchanted and inspired by angel Avicii.”
