Just a few days ago, Alesso released the tracklist, title and cover art for his upcoming debut artist album Forever. Today, April 7, the LP is now available for pre-order on iTunes and, to spice things up, the "Cool" producer has shared a new track from the album: "Payday." The tune was named after and designed for the new video game Payday 2 and has served as the intro track in his sets over the past few months. The single was premiered over the weekend on SiriusXM and is now available for download on iTunes.
It has the same gritty feel as "Tear the Roof Up" with distorted, acid-tinged synth chords, a thumping bass line and haunting undertones that outfit it for a video game.
With the pre-order, fans can now see the album release date, which will be made available in full Tuesday, May 26, through Def Jam Recordings. It includes the already released singles "Heroes (We Could Be)," "Tear the Roof Up" and "Cool" in addition to the previously released collaborations with Calvin Harris and OneRepublic: "Under Control" and "If I Lose Myself."
The LP will feature other collaborations with the likes of Ryan Tedder as well as fan favorite unreleased tracks "Sweet Escape" and "Scars." We will keep you posted if there are anymore singles to come from the album between now and May 26.
