Share This Article

The upward momentum of Alan Walker’s career continues as he returns with ‘Not Home’, a new collaborative single alongside Italian pop/dance singer-songwriter Alessia Labate. Emotionally driven and understated in its approach, the track leans into atmosphere and connection rather than high-impact spectacle. Subtle yet impactful, it reveals a more reflective side of Walker’s sound while introducing a vocal performance that anchors the release in genuine feeling.

Built around spacious chords, restrained energy and a slow-burning progression, ‘Not Home’ carries the melodic hallmarks that have defined Walker’s global success, while allowing room for emotion to take centre stage. The production unfolds with patience, creating a sense of distance and longing that mirrors the song’s central themes of belonging and emotional displacement.

Alessia Labate’s vocal plays a defining role throughout. Her topline is both intimate and immediate, delivered with a softness that adds depth and vulnerability to the track’s message. Rather than functioning as a traditional feature, her voice shapes the song’s identity, providing the emotional weight that brings Walker’s production to life. The release follows a strong run of high-profile collaborations for Alessia, including her recent appearance on ‘Gimme The Love’ alongside pioneering electronic figure Armin van Buuren and Seth Hills, underlining her growing presence within the global dance scene.

The collaboration feels natural and balanced, with both artists contributing equally to the final result. Walker’s finely tuned sonic framework and Alessia’s expressive delivery come together to create a track that resonates on a personal level, tapping into the universal experience of searching for a place, or feeling, that truly feels like home.

‘Not Home’ arrives as a considered addition to Alan Walker’s evolving catalogue and is set to feature on his upcoming artist album ‘Rise of the Drones’. It also marks a standout moment for Alessia Labate, highlighting a collaboration rooted in emotion, restraint and clarity of vision. Designed to connect rather than overwhelm, the track is set to resonate well beyond its initial listen.

‘Not Home’ by Alan Walker & Alessia Labate is out now on all major streaming platforms.
