Otto Knows feat. Avicii – Back Where I Belong
There has been an image that has circulated around the Internet plenty of times showing Otto Knows and Avicii in the same school photo. It’s clear that these two were childhood friends, but for the first time, they show that they can be collaborators in the studio. Just like that, two of the biggest names in Swedish house music come together to create “Back Where I Belong”. This track hits all of the specialties that both Otto Knows and Avicii are known for, like emotional vocals and progressive melodies galore. The track kicks off with an uncredited female vocalist singing over a beautiful piano. There is very little build up, but the track gets into a drop so powerful that it will definitely blow you away. Strong trumpets on the lead join forces with an energetic bassline to create the kind of sound you can dance along to endlessly. These two artists are just so good in their own solo work that a collaboration has high expectations. I think it’s quite safe to say that “Back Where I Belong” exceeds all expectations for a collaboration between old friends. It’s also good to see that Avicii is just retiring from touring, and will continue to work on new music.
