AAI (album)

AAI is the debut studio album by the Swedish electronic music duo Axwell Λ Ingrosso, released on December 8, 2017, through Def Jam Recordings.

The album's title, AAI, is an acronym formed by the first letter of each member's name: Axwell, Angello, and Ingrosso. The "Λ" symbol, often read as "and," was used to indicate the collaboration. The album represents a culmination of the duo's work since forming in 2014 after the disbandment of the iconic Swedish House Mafia.

AAI features a blend of progressive house and electronic dance music (EDM), incorporating elements of pop and alternative electronic music. The album includes previously released singles such as "Something New," "On My Way," "Sun Is Shining," "Dreamer," "More Than You Know," and "Renegade," alongside new tracks. These singles experienced significant commercial success prior to the album's release, building anticipation for AAI.

While AAI showcased Axwell Λ Ingrosso's established sound and production quality, critical reception was mixed. Some critics praised the album's catchy melodies and energetic production, while others criticized its formulaic approach and perceived lack of innovation compared to the duo's earlier work as part of Swedish House Mafia. Commercially, the album performed well, bolstered by the popularity of its pre-released singles.
