Avicii on Adam Lambert: "His voice is just insane"

Avicii has heaped praise on Adam Lambert, calling him a "reincarnation of Freddie Mercury".

The two artists teamed up alongside guitarist Nile Rodgers for the track 'Lay Me Down', which features on the Swedish DJ's new album 'True'.

Speaking to David Atlanta, Avicii said that not only is Lambert a powerful singer, but he is a "great writer" too. He said:

"Adam has an amazing voice. More than anything, he’s also a great writer. But his voice is just insane! He’s like a reincarnation of Freddie Mercury. Actually more like a mixture of Freddie Mercury and Robert Plant."

Speaking about how the collaboration came about, the DJ said: 

"It was Nile Rodgers that kinda had the connection with him and brought him down to put the vocals on a demo that Nile and I did. We weren’t even intending to have him sing on the final track. But then he did such an amazing job on the demo, we were like, 'Why go look for someone else?' It’s brilliant as it is. There was another song we did with Adam. It was about going down on a girl. He was like 'Well it’s not for me, but I’ll sing it. I’ll do it for the people, I’ll go down for the people'. One way or another we all go down!"
