Pushing back against the recent release, Avicii collaborator and vocalist Sandro Cavazza insists that he never approved of ‘Forever Yours – Tim’s 2016 Ibiza Version.’ a new iteration of the single that’s being released seven years after the Swedish producer (born Tim Bergling) passed away in 2018.
Taking to social media, Cavazza wrote on Instagram:
“Just so you all know. I have not agreed on releasing this as a single.” “I have only agreed on releasing Tim’s demo version of ‘Forever Yours’ as a part of a full live album release from Tim’s last show, but since that album wasn’t released today and this is now being portrayed as a single, featuring me, I feel like I need to speak up.”
Insisting that he spent years turning down requests from the record label and Avicii’s family to put out the “unreleased material” they worked on, Sandro added:
“I have for years now been asked by the family and Pinguettes recordings to release the unreleased material I have done together with Tim and I have consistently said no.” “A lot of you probably wonder why those songs never have come out and the truth is that I don’t want to release any of those songs Without Tim being here.” “He is the only one who knew when his songs were finished and I do and will continue to respect that.” “I therefore wish that Pinguettes recordings, Per Sundin and Tim’s family will respect that decision as well and that they think twice about what the most respectful way to treat Tim’s memory is cuz I don’t think this is it.”
The new version of ‘Forever Yours’ was featured in the new Netflix documentary ‘I’m Tim’ and his final live performance ‘My Last Show’, which is also available on the streaming platform.
In 2020, Carlos worked with Kygo on a different ‘Tribute’ version of ‘Forever Yours’.
