Artist:Alesso f/Tove Lo
Song:Heroes (We Could Be)
Album:Forever
The 2014 single Heroes is to date the biggest hit for Swedish DJ Alesso. It topped the dance charts and was a top 40 pop hit in the US. He was born Alessandro Lindblad July 7, 1991 in Stockholm, Sweden. He started playing piano at age seven and got into Electronic Dance Music (EDM) as a teen. After releasing an EP in 2010, Sebastian Ingrosso of Swedish House Mafia taught Alesso to DJ. MTV named Alesso an EDM Rookie to Watch in 2012. He also opened for Madonna on her European tour. Alesso was getting acclaim for his remixes and he appeared on the 2013 music festival circuit. He signed with Def Jam and released the album Forever in 2015. Heroes was the second single and it topped the dance chart, was a top ten hit in England and reached #31 on the Billboard Hot 100. It is to date his biggest chart hit. Tove Lo fans will be interested to know that Heroes appears as a bonus track on the International Blueprint edition of her album Queen of the Clouds. This is Alesso's only album to date. He has released several singles. Most of them did not chart. The main criticism of Alesso is his instrumentals sound the same. That could be said about a lot of EDM. He seems to have more success when he works with guest singers. So maybe he would be better off concentrating on producing and not produce his own music. Fame is fleeting so he'll probably end up doing that anyway. Here's the video of Heroes (We Could Be) by Alesso featuring Tove Lo.
