Ghost World is the fourth studio album by the Australian DJ and producer Alison Wonderland. It was announced on 1 August 2025, alongside the third single, "Iwannaliveinadream". The album was originally scheduled for release on 3 October 2025 through EMI Music Australia, but due to production delays, the album's release date was pushed to 5 December 2025.[1][6]
Upon announcement Wonderland said "I often feel like I'm wandering this earth trying to find my home, both artistically and personally. I want people to know that while you're on that search, there is a place of refuge here for you, with us, in Ghost World."[1]
Reception
Triple J said "Blending euphoric beats with gritty, futuristic bass and her signature trap production, Alison goes back to her roots... and invites you into her chaotic mind."[7]
EDM called it "her most personal project yet" saying "melding frenetic bass with fractured emotions while revisiting the heavy-hitting trap that catapulted her career. The result is a transformative album that, while explosive at times, feels intimately honest and fully lived-in."[8]
Steve from Eat This Music said "the album is Alison Wonderland at her most confident and compositionally adventurous, sharpening threads she has teased across the years: introspection, chaos, resilience, defiance, and the relief that comes when the bass finally drops the weight you've been carrying."[9]
