Avicii - Levels

Although this song was released in late October, the Etta James-sampling track has been getting a lot of attention internationally during the last couple of months. It has been the basis for Flo Rida's current single "Good Feeling." Almost entirely instrumental, the uplifting piano-driven main version has a vocal drop featuring some vocals from the beginning of the legendary Etta James song "Something's Got A Hold On Me" right in the middle. The combination of the hypnotic instrumental and that unexpected vocal drop is just magical. Full instrumental versions are also available for those who want to enjoy the song just like that. Overall, this is an excellent song.
