Together with Vincent Pontare and Salem Al Fakir, AKA the duo Vargas and Lagola, and some musical artists featured on the album, Carl collaborated to make Avicii's posthumous Tim album a fact.

"We opened [the computer] like six months after everything happened. The family's wish was to release the songs ... and that helped us finish the songs," he added. Because they might worked in combination prior to and had Avicii's notes, emails and texts about the challenge, they knew what he would have wanted Tim to sound like. 

"We spent so much time with him in the last ... three months before he passed, we knew how he wanted the vocals," Vargas added. "We've been working with him for so long. We know what he likes and what he don't [sic] like."
