Alison Wonderland’s new album, Ghost World, arrives today, signalling a decisive shift in her artistic and personal trajectory. Long regarded as one of electronic music’s most groundbreaking forces, she has shaped the last decade with a career defined by firsts: the first female DJ to headline Coachella’s main stage, seven sold-out Red Rocks shows, and more than a billion streams across a catalogue that has redefined emotional electronic music. Ghost World steps into this lineage with a sharper sense of purpose and an unmistakably renewed voice.
Built during a period of personal upheaval and quiet rebirth, the album unfolds like the soundscape of someone rebuilding themselves from the inside out. Wonderland has described the record as her own ego death, a search for belonging as both an artist and a person, and Ghost World channels that search into fourteen tracks that trace the porous borders between hope, rupture and reinvention. “This album is dedicated to anyone out there who doesn’t know where they fit in… Welcome to Ghost World,” she shared earlier this year, framing the project as a universe intentionally built for outsiders, shapeshifters and anyone still trying to locate their place in the noise.
At the centre of this universe is Heaven ft. Ninajirachi, released today alongside a new music video that sharpens the track’s emotional arc into something luminous and immediate. Their collaboration blends Wonderland’s atmospheric instincts with Ninajirachi’s hypermodern textures, crystallising into a study of tension and release.
As Ghost World expands outward, Wonderland extends the invitation beyond the music itself. A forthcoming series of intimate album signings and fan events across multiple cities echoes the record’s core theme: connection as refuge, community as survival. It’s a gesture that mirrors the album’s emotional architecture, offering listeners a place to land as they step into this new era with her.
What makes Ghost World compelling is its refusal to stay still. Wonderland leans into both the weight and release of transformation, often within the same breath, creating a world where vulnerability and power coexist without contradiction. As Ghost World makes clear, her evolution is far from over.
