These two hits Avicii's had the past few months is the first time I heard someone undertake that kind of hybrid successfully. 'Wake me up' and 'Hey Brother'. Maybe I just haven't heard something else....but yah. Noone's done it this good yet. Apparently, one-time Roots guitarist Ben Kenney played on em.

All I know....when I'm driving the kids around and they take control of the radio....certain songs stick out to me. Both these songs got soul and good lyrics too.

And no irony. That's the key. It's not ironic.
