Stompers like the earnest, acoustic guitar-driven Wake Me Up mix Appalachian influences with Aloe Blaccs soulful pipes for a surprisingly intuitive-sounding pop song; Hey Brother takes it even further into countryfied territory.

Other standouts include You Make Me, on which a plunking piano and filtered vocal provide theatrical flourish, and Dear Boy, which flits between enchanted balladry and big, high-energy builds.

Early singles2009s Alcoholic, 2010s My Feelings for Youjuggled melodic sparks with an upstarts swagger, and it didnt take him long to hit his stride.

In 2011, Levels caught the worlds ear with a clever Etta James sample-flip and an unforgettable chord progression; no song better captures dance musics optimism at the dawn of the decade.

But Bergling had his eye on something bigger than even rave culture.

With his debut album, 2013s True, he veered unexpectedly into a jubilant fusion of house music, soul, and bluegrass, and if songs like Wake Me Up and Hey Brother initially puzzled fans, they quickly reset the terms of what was possible in dance musicand pop.

Two years later, Stories continued to play fast and loose with Berglings inspirations, dipping into disco (Talk to Myself), 70s rock (Ten More Days), and even acoustic reggae (Cant Catch Me), tapping guests like Wyclef Jean and Chris Martin along the way.

Perhaps his restlessness behind the boards was a way of trying to encompass a broader range of emotions than is common in dance music.

For all the giddy joy of a song like Levels, its the tension between yearning and doubt that makes songs like Trouble so powerfuland its that depth of feeling that will be his legacy.

In 2012, Ora collaborated with DJ Fresh on the single Hot Right Now, which reached number one in the United Kingdom.
