Steve Aoki And Alan Walker Roll Out New Collaboration Project ‘Lonely Club’
2 years after it first appearing, Steve Aoki and Alan Walker are finally returning to their once thought forgotten project Lonely Club.
It’s a project that’s been a long time in the making as Aoki and Walker first discussed the idea over 5 years ago. The pair had worked together previously on ‘Are You Lonely’ in 2019 which could have been where the idea for the collab was first sparked. However, the only appearance of Lonely Club since then came back in 2023 on Alan Walker’s ‘Walkerworld’ album with the track ‘Spectre 2.0.’
But recently the name Lonely Club has made a resurgence with some tracks being debuted live and now they’ve officially released a new single. ‘Welcome to Lonely Club’ has reignited fans excitement for the project with it being a wonderful display of how Aoki and Walker’s styles complement each other. This track is only the beginning as on December 5th they’ll be releasing a full album ‘Quantum Beats.’ In a couple videos on Steve Aoki’s Tiktok they gave a little peak behind the curtain into their writing camp where there are some hints of what’s to come.
While it sounds like the album will be roughly 20 tracks, Aoki mentions that they have “music for the next ten years.” The promise of an album is exciting enough but it’s sounding like this will be a longstanding project which is even better. In the videos on Tiktok you see the team behind the album beyond Aoki and Walker including the very familiar face of Mike Posner. Whether he contributed vocals or just assisted with writing, his style and talent is sure to be felt amidst the record. There’s been a very clear visual style set out for ‘Quantum Beats’ with the music video for ‘Welcome to Lonely Club’ being set in a futuristic, dystopian world. The description for the video gives an insight into what the Lonely Club is, saying: ‘In this world, Lonely Club represents a quiet, almost hidden community of melodists – a creative space where sound and storytelling can turn fear into growth and self-reflection.’
Lonely Club is a project that looks to have been carefully curated and has plenty of legs for the future. They’ve laid down the gauntlet with ‘Welcome to Lonely Club’ and now the anticipation for December 5th is high. Get ready, ‘Quantum Beats’ is almost here.
