A brand new album from Avicii could be released this year following reports that the Swedish DJ/producer's family have been in talks with label bosses to release some of the new music he'd been working on prior to his death.

Swedish entertainment magazine Aftonbladet has reported that Avicii - real name Tim Bergling - had a vast amount of music ready for his release, and that following discussions between his family and the label, that his album could be released soon.

Bergling had released his first taste ofbrand new music back in August 2017,his 'AVīCI (01)'EP, whichfeatured collaborations with Rita Ora, AlunaGeorge and more. He had stated in an interview with Pete Tongthat it would be the first of three.

In a recent interview with 'Variety', Geffen Records president Neil Jacobson, who started working with Avicii from the release of 'Levels', described the producer as a "good, kind kid" and revealed their plans for his new music.

"We were working on it and it was his best music in years, honestly," he said, "and I know because I [A&R’d] all of his albums. He was so inspired. He was so psyched."

In regards to who might have featured on the new songs, Jacobson said: "There’s a few. I’d rather not say who. Tim had a list of people he was hoping we could reach out to for this album. That was actually the last communication I had from him two days ago, and that’s haunting."

Avicii was found dead in Oman, aged 28 on 20th April.A second statement from his family released last month implied that Bergling may have taken his own life.

The statement told how Bergling"struggled with thoughts on meaning, life, happiness" and added:

"Our beloved Tim was a seeker, a fragile artistic soul searching for answers to existential questions.

"He wanted to find peace."

RIP Avicii.
