Rita Ora and Avicii's New Song 'Lonely Together' Sounds Amazing

The 'Your Song' singer features on the super-producer's brand new EP...

After nearly two years away, Avicii is back with brand new music and he’s working with some big names.

The Swedish DJ has shared snippets from his new EP, 'AVĪCI (01)', on Instagram, including ‘What Would I Change It To’ with AlunaGeorge and the incredible-sounding ‘Lonely Together’ featuring Rita Ora.

“I can’t change you / And I won’t change / I might hate myself tomorrow / But I want my way tonight,” Rita sings during the build-up before the thumping production bursts into euphoria. “Let’s be lonely together / A little less lonely together.”

From the snippet alone, ‘Lonely Together’ sounds like one of the strongest singles released this summer. It might be raining today but we are ready! Take us to the sunshine, Rita.

Avicii’s new EP is his first solo release in almost years and the first to come after he announced his retirement from live shows last year, folding away his DJ decks to concentrate on himself and producing his music.

It was a bold move to make considering he’s one of the biggest dance acts in the world and was selling out shows in seconds but the admirable decision seems to have paid off creatively, and we think this could be his best music yet.

Yesterday we reported that Ora has delayed her album release from Q4 to "early next year", however with 'Your Song' only getting biggerand'Lonely Together' bound to take off, it's clear she's a woman with a plan.

'AVĪCI (01)' drops this Friday, August 11. Are you ready?!
