Graded Song: Avicii "X You"

He is one of the many EDM artists that I am waiting for a full-length album from, yet he wants to keep releasing singles. But I digress already. Swedish DJ Avicii held a contest in which fans could upload samples, which he cut down to a select few (4000) and created a brand new song from. I have yet to be disappointed by any of Avicii's past commercial work ("Silhouettes">>>anything your fave EDM artist could produce), so how does he do with other people's beats?

To be honest, I was a bit underwhelmed by the shorter edit, but thankfully someone provided a link to the full original mix, so I will base my review on that. The beginning already grabs the listener, giving some serious "Silhouettes" vibes. Then we get a nice blend of video game like synths and piano. And then of course the massive soaring build-up before a semi-decent drop. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. I still have to admit that after hearing the original mix in full, I feel like its a bit on the light side, but it's still an amazing song nonetheless.
Final Grade:B+
