This new release from Avicii, under his Tim Berg alias, was dropped at Pier 94 for NYE and I vividly remember 8,000+ ravers going bonkers; Mainly because of the way it begins with just so much funk. The guitar string and synthed vocals from The Temptations original Papa Was A Rolling Stone combine for another unique banger consistent with every reason for Avicii’s steady rise to face melting super stardom.
The drop at 1:51 is like a wave live where the lights go bright for just a moment before laser sex occurs. Wondering why it’s called “Ash Papa”? It derives from the relationship with label manager Ash Pournouri, who Avicii, Cazzette, and others affectionately call “Papa”. This is because Ash is a genious and has a burning knack for discovering and developing sensational producers. Ash refers to his artists as his babies by number. Avicii=#1. Cazzette=#2.
