In Response to His Fans, Alan Walker Serves a Heavy Dose of Nostalgia With His First Single of 2023 – “Dreamer,” Out Now on NCS, Announces Las Vegas Residency At Zouk Nightclub/Ayu Dayclub

Multi-platinum Norwegian superstar Alan Walker returns with his new single – “Dreamer,” which is also his first release in 2023, and it’s bound to pull at some nostalgic heartstrings for many listeners.

It all started with a Twitter poll where Alan asked his community an enigmatic question – “Should we take it back to the beginning?” With over 90% of responses in favor of “yes,” The Walkers have spoken. To add even more twist to the story, the Norwegian producer challenged himself with a 100-hour deadline to produce “Dreamer.”

With its digitized elements that make you feel like you should be zooming through outer space on an epic quest to save humanity, the track pays homage to the earlier breakthrough singles that have originally put Walker on the map, like “Faded,” “Sing Me To Sleep” and “Alone.”

It is a simultaneous ode to the past and a promise of the future, opening a new chapter for Alan’s storytelling through music. “Dreamer” is out now in collaboration with NCS (NoCopyrightSounds), the platform and community through which Alan Walker originally began his career and rose to popularity.

To celebrate the fact of Alan Walker’s return, both NCS and the artist himself will be actively and directly engaging with their communities to collaboratively create fan art, remixes, music videos, and more user-generated content for “Dreamer,” so make sure to join NCS’s and Walker’s social media to be part of these activities and become a “Dreamer” yourself.

In other news, Walker also just announced his upcoming residency at Zouk Las Vegas. So far, his announced 2023 dates include Saturday, May 20th, Friday, October 13th, and Saturday, August 26th.
