Awake is Australian producer Alison Wonderland’s sophomore album following her successful LP Run from 2015. Alison announced the name and the cover of the album via her social media on February 14th 2018. The album has a wide range of styles on it, from more pop inspired tracks to trap and hip-hop influences. Other than Alison herself singing on some of the tracks Awake also features vocals from Trippie Redd, Chief Keef and Buddy.
“Happy Place” was the first single of the album being released in late 2017, with “Church,” “No” and “High” following in 2018 leading up to the full release. Alison describes the process of creating the album as a “honest wake up call” and also being able to come to a realization while writing the music, and making personal changes because of it.
