Aloe Blacc is an American singer, rapper and musician. After his break-out hit
I Need A Dollar he put himself even more firmly on the map in 2013 with the single
Wake Me Up, which he co-wrote and sang with the late Swedish DJ Avicii. It was a hit in over 100 countries and not the only time he collaborated with a DJ; Blacc provided vocals to Tiësto’s
Carry You Home. His fifth and latest album
All Love Everything was released in 2020 but in May of this year, he announced a two-part series of EP’s called
Rock My Soul, with soul covers of rock songs and due for release this year.
