Beautiful Tribute Video Released For Avicii & Coldplay’s New Single ‘Heaven’!

On June 6th, the electronic dance music world was blessed with 12 new Avicii singles which were collectively released in the posthumous album ‘TIM’. The album was a roaring success, reaching No.1 in Billboard’s Dance/Electronic Albums chart; becoming the third Avicii album to do so. One of the most sought after ID’s from Avicii‘s unreleased catalog was ‘Heaven’, a collaboration with Coldplay‘s Chris Martin which was recorded back in 2014 and completed in 2016. It was first premiered during Avicii‘s set at Future Music Festival in 2015.

The music video was directed by filmmaker Levan Tsikurishvili, who also directed the Avicii: True Stories documentary. In a statement about the video, Tsikurishvili wrote: “I have been working with Tim since about 2013. During these years, we made 8 music videos, 3 concert movies and 2 documentaries together. In 2016, right after his last show, Tim, Tim‘s childhood friend Awat, and I spent 19 beautiful days in Madagascar, Ile Sainte-Marie. We spoke about everything, laughed, played monopoly, hung out with lemurs, and explored the entire island together. Now, two-and-a-half years later, I returned to the island to remember Tim, to honour his legacy, and to recreate the memories that will stay with us forever.”

“This video is a collection of my smartphone videos plus some parts of unused material from the documentary Avicii: True Stories and newly shot footage. I also did some 3D animations in order to recreate the moments that I did not have any video material from.” –Levan Tsikurishvili
