Wake Me Up! - Avicii & Aloe Blacc - MP3 instrumental karaoke

The landscape of early 2010s pop was largely defined by the sounds of electronic dance music (EDM), and Swedish DJ and record producer Avicii was at the forefront of the era. And as the first single released from his smash debut studio album True (2013), “Wake Me Up!” made a gigantic splash in the world of pop and dance music. Written by Avicii (real name Tim Bergling) along with Egbert Nathaniel Dawkins III and Mike Einziger and produced by Avicii along with Arash Pournouri, this towering pop hit combines acoustic-based, country-tinged singer-songwriter aesthetics with Avicii’s trademark explosive electronic stylings, blending into a genre commonly known as “folktronica.” “Wake Me Up!” was a massive hit, peaking at Number 4 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, Number 1 on the US Hot Dance/Electronic Songs, and Number 1 on the UK Singles Chart. It has the distinction of being the first dance or electronic song to sell over 4 million copies in the United States.
