Released 13 Years Ago: Avicii – Blessed

Thirteen years ago, before hitting monumental success with ‘Levels’, Avicii, the Swedish DJ and producer who would become one of the most influential figures in electronic music, released ‘Blessed’. This track came out on May 9, 2011, showcasing Avicii‘s signature melodic piano house style that had already begun to captivate fans worldwide.

‘Blessed’ quickly became a fan favorite, resonating deeply with audiences, especially after Avicii included it in his groundbreaking performance at Tomorrowland 2011. Just two months after its release, the track was being sung by the entire crowd at one of the biggest music festivals in the world, highlighting the immediate impact of Avicii‘s music on the electronic dance community.

The song itself is imbued with uplifting melodies and vibrant energy, characteristics that defined many of Avicii‘s early works and helped to cement his reputation as a master of melodic dance music. Even in its early days, ‘Blessed’ was more than just a track; it was a harbinger of the phenomenal success that Avicii would achieve in the subsequent years.

Sadly, the music world was shocked and saddened by Avicii‘s untimely death on April 20, 2018. His passing was a significant loss to the music industry and fans around the globe. Avicii‘s legacy, however, continues to live on through his music. Tracks like ‘Blessed’ not only showcase his talent but also serve as a reminder of his profound impact on the world of music. His creative genius and spirit remain an inspiration, ensuring that his influence will be felt for generations to come. ‘Blessed’ stands as a testament to his extraordinary talent and his enduring contribution to the world of electronic dance music.
