A couple of days ago, Swedish house DJ Avicii released the lyric video for his second single off his upcoming debut studio album True. The second single, entitled 'You Make Me' follows the massively successful 'Wake Me Up' and features vocals from the Swedish singer Salem Al Fakir. Accompanying the new track is the lyric video, which thankfully doesn't feature some poorly constructed text whizzing across the screen, like some lyric videos have. No, instead the video features a 'miniature city', which is far more exciting.
The track itself is upbeat and is the sort of song you might play on your car's radio whilst driving along in the sunshine. It's a fresh sound, it's uplifting and the vocals possess an interesting tone. It's certainly a suitable follow-up for 'Wake Me Up' and if the rest of the tracks off the album are up to this level of quality then I'd imagine it would be very successful indeed. If you fancy checking out the lyric video, then watch below:
As previously stated, the lyric video showcases several 'miniature settings' (farms, city centres, rural areas) at various different speeds and paces (fast-forward) and also includes several images of scenery. These comprise of mirrored waves, sun rising from clouds, and time-lapse to portray the change to night-time. It's beautiful at the very least, and adds to the bright, upbeat feel of the track.
The various images contribute to the relaxing feel of the song and the video has a certain novelty to it to see everything move around at a fast pace at angle (tilt-shift) which makes it look like a toy-city; it puts things into a different perspective. It's highly likely that this song will prove to be another hit for Avicii, whose work is very much a hot topic at the moment. If all of this has persuaded you to listen to the track and watch the music video then let us know what you think. Do you think this new addition has the potential to be as successful as 'Wake Me Up'?
