The fourth single from Avicii’s debut album is possibly the most different so far due to the fact it lands on the digital shelves in the form of a David Guetta remix, and it’s a remix that whips out all the clichéd hallmarks of a Guetta production whilst Avicii lifts the sound of Nancy Sinatra’s ‘Shot Me Down’, though it’s frankly better than the hash-up David Guetta recently did of the actual record. {rating}
The style of ‘Addicted To You’ is similar to ‘Wake Me Up’, ‘Hey Brother’ etc, a refreshingly well done number that balances indie with dance with a country-tinged singer having something to say. It’s just a shame that this version drowns in Guetta’s overdone and overly familiar stylings and sounds like something I’d expect from a bedroom DJ who downloaded the software earlier in the day. It’s a great track shackled by a pointless remix. I’ll wait until they release the original version as a single.
