Norwegian DJ-producer Alan Walker's debut album feels like a long time coming since his breakout single Faded put him on the map back in 2015. But the wait has been worth it. The 15-track Different World is tight and well thought-out - the new songs take up the first half, with the latter portion comprisingthe hit songs he has already amassed. As a whole, it stays true to the 21-year-old's style of cinematic, vocals-driven EDM (electronic dance music) - the kind that lends itself to singalongs at music festivals. Long-time fans will be pleased to find chart-topping hits like All Falls Down with Noah Cyrus, Darkside with Au/Ra and Alone with Noonie Baohere.

Long-time fans will be pleased to find chart-topping hits like All Falls Down with Noah Cyrus, Darkside with Au/Ra and Alone with Noonie Baohere. The newer singles are equally chart-worthy and sound like potential hits. But it also feels like Walker has played it safe by sticking to what he is familiar with. At first listen, Lonely, a collaboration with superstar American DJ Steve Aoki, feels like a harder, Aoki-style track. But Walker's touch is undeniable, reining it in and turning it into an approachable, synth melody-laced number.

It's been three years since fans around the world fell in love with Alan Walker's breakout hit "Faded." The Norwegian producer spent that time deepening the roots of his creative universe, pushing his sound toward cinematic heights without losing the vocal-driven hooks that made him the star he has become. Today (Dec. 14), he celebrates his hard work by releasing his first full-length studio album. Different World turns bleating synth melodies into sing-alongs, melts warm Caribbean rhythms with hardstyle booms, and electrifies the dance floor as much as it aims for radio readiness. It's 15 tracks of previously-released singles and new goodies alike, defining Walker's world as it exists today.

I wanted to begin the entire album with an instrumental piece that draws inspiration from film scores, as that has been an inspiration for me for a long time. I’m sure the listeners will hear that influence throughout the album, and especially in the interludes that follows later on the album. I think this intro sets the right mood for the album from the beginning, before heading to the first full song.
