Listen: Audra Mae featured on Avicii's new album "True," out today
One of my favorite Oklahoma singers, Audra Mae, is featured on Swedish EDM DJ-producer Avicii’s debut studio album, “True, out today via Island / Virgin EMI.
The Putnam City High School graduate unleashes her huge, sexy voice on “Addicted to You” and “Long Road to Hell,” two of the hotly anticipated album’s 10 tracks from Avicii (real name Tim Bergling), already a Grammy-nominated hitmaker known for the his Etta James-sampling dance track “Levels.”
In addition, Mae co-wrote the track “Shame on Me” with Avicii, Sterling Fox and Ash Pournouri, which features Nile Rodgers of Chic and Mae on vocals.
“True” already features a mega hit with the bluegrass-flavored “Wake Me Up,” with vocals by Aloe Blacc.
The album was recorded in Los Angeles and Stockholm, where Avicii collaborated with an eclectic group of artists including Michael Einzinger from Incubus, bluegrass singer Dan Tyminski, “American Idol” contender Adam Lambert and legendary songwriter Mac Davis (who penned “In the Ghetto” and “A Little Less Conversation” for Elvis Presley).
