In a thrilling cross-genre collaboration, Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum artist Aloe Blacc and country music sensation Cooper Alan have teamed up to release a country rendition of the iconic song "Wake Me Up."

Aloe Blacc, known for his incredible range and socially impactful songs, was instantly excited when Alan approached him about revisiting "Wake Me Up" as a country song. With a celebrated catalog that includes the diamond-certified original "Wake Me Up" (multi-billion streams and counting), as well as the culturally resonant hits "I Need a Dollar" and "The Man," Aloe continues to prove his versatility across genres and generations. Earlier this year, Aloe released his powerful single " Shine ," a collaboration with the Aurora Humanitarian Initiative, which underscores Aloe's commitment to using music as a tool for global change. Looking ahead to 2025, Aloe will have a new solo album (announcement coming soon).

"'Wake Me Up' has always felt like it carried a bit of a country soul to it," says Cooper Alan. "I've been such a huge fan of Aloe and this song from day one, and the idea of giving it a new life in a genre I love felt like a perfect fit." As country music's biggest breakout star on TikTok with over 10 million followers and 15 million across all platforms, Alan is blazing a unique path in the industry with over 500 million streams. Having just returned from a sold-out international tour in Australia, New Zealand, and Japan, Cooper has captivated fans worldwide and is on a meteoric rise.

"When I first wrote the lyrics and recorded the acoustic demo of WAKE ME UP, it had a strong bluegrass vibe," says Aloe Blacc. "This version with Cooper brings it home to where it started in the writing room. I'm excited that a whole new generation loves it."

A fresh, soulful country sound that brings Aloe Blacc and Cooper Alan's voices to the forefront, "Wake Me Up (Country Version)", this re-imagining is set to be one of the most exciting cross-genre collaborations of the year. Together, Aloe and Alan have crafted a version of "Wake Me Up" that feels both familiar and entirely new, bridging fans of the original with a new audience in country music. This collaboration showcases the universal appeal of a great song and celebrates ten years of a track that continues to inspire.
