Alison Wonderland builds a refuge of dreamstate beats and raw emotion on Ghost World, her most confident and expansive album yet. Guests include Erick the Architect, QUIX and MEMBA.

Alison Wonderland has always written from the heart, but Ghost World feels like the moment she throws the doors wide open and lets the whole room in. Written through a period of deep personal transformation, the album doubles as both a sanctuary and a signal flare, pulling together the community she has built over more than a decade in electronic music. Outsiders. Ravers. Realists. Anyone who needs a place to land. She built Ghost World for them.

The album arrives after a turbulent chapter that tested her confidence, her creativity, and her sense of self. She talks about homesickness, recalibration, and the weight of expectation, but she also talks about rebuilding. That resilience is baked into the songs. These tracks are crafted with a clarity that comes from shutting out the noise and trusting instinct again.

Musically, Ghost World pushes past anything Wonderland has attempted before. The lead singles chart the territory. “Get Started” hits with a sharpened emotional edge. “iwannaliveinadream” floats in a dreamy haze that feels like escape in slow motion. “PSYCHO,” her collaboration with Erick the Architect, QUIX and MEMBA, brings a darker cinematic swing. Throughout the album there is a tension between dreamy nostalgia and harder trap-leaning bursts, a balance she navigates with absolute control.

Throughout the album are features from artists like Ninajirachi and DJ_Dave and even a moment with her own Whyte Fang alter-ego. The production is big, bold, and wide open. Nothing feels constrained. Wonderland is playing with scale, color, and emotion the way a filmmaker plays with light. The result is immersive, transportive, and completely unafraid.

She describes the album as honest. Very honest, and it shows. You can hear the catharsis. You can hear the restlessness. You can hear the moment she sheds old skin and steps into something bigger and brighter. The delays leading up to its release only added to the anticipation, but the album itself answers the wait with purpose. Fourteen tracks that map longing, doubt, memory, hope, escape, vulnerability, and the slow fight to reclaim your own narrative.

In every way that counts, Ghost World is Alison Wonderland at her strongest. Confident. Visionary. Building a world for anyone who needs one and reminding fans why her music hits so deeply in the first place. It's a refuge. It's a reset. It's the sound of an artist standing firmly in her own light again.
