Aloe Blacc Reveals New Single, ‘Don’t Go Alone’ and Announces New Album

Grammy-nominated and multi-platinum artist Aloe Blacc has officially announced his new album ‘Stand Together‘ – due Friday, February 28, 2025. The LP was completed in partnership with the philanthropic community of the same name, whose work inspired the LP. Pre-order HERE.

To celebrate the announcement of the new project, Aloe debuted the lead single ‘Don’t Go Alone‘ on Good Morning America. ‘Stand Together’ is a genre-spanning collection of 12 tracks that blend his signature soulful sound with a powerful message of unity, empathy, and resilience. Every song on the album is paired with a philanthropic cause, showcasing Aloe’s ongoing, deep commitment to using music as a catalyst for social change. From reimagining Marvin Gaye’s iconic ‘What’s Going On‘ to reflecting on the transformative power of mentorship, ‘Stand Together’ weaves universal themes of hope, collaboration, and community.

The lead single, ‘Don’t Go Alone’, is an anthem inspired by the African proverb, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” The song’s reflective lyrics and uplifting rhythm encourage community to lean on one another during life’s challenges. This powerful message aligns with and was inspired by the mission of The Phoenix, a Stand Together community partner and national sober active community that provides free, active, and meaningful programming to anyone impacted by substance use. By building connections through shared experiences and mutual encouragement, The Phoenix harnesses the innate power of community and belonging as a long-term recovery model, so members can reach their full potential. This strong, sober-supportive community empowers individuals in recovery to be proud of who they are —a message echoed in Aloe Blacc’s stirring anthem.

“This is the perfect song to lead this project because it reminds us of the power of connection and community,” says Aloe Blacc. “This album is a celebration of what we can achieve when we come together to support one another. Whether it’s in our relationships or as a society, we’re stronger and better when we stand together.”

‘Stand Together’ is an immaculate demonstration of an artist using his art to inspire collaboration and positive change and showcases Aloe’s unparalleled ability to blend meaningful storytelling with genre-defying music. The album, which spans pop, R&B, and soul, features collaborations with acclaimed producers such as Stargate, Oak Felder, DJ Khalil and Hunter Hayes, all while maintaining a steadfast focus on themes of openness, empowerment, and social change. This message rings true to the album’s namesake, Stand Together, a philanthropic community that works to tackle the root causes of our country’s biggest problems.

Elsewhere on the album, Aloe’s deeply personal ‘Daddy Told Me So‘ reflects on the lessons passed from one generation to the next, while ‘Not on My Watch’ honours the teachings of the late Harry Belafonte, advocating for vigilance and peace in the fight for justice. Other standout tracks include a reimagining of Marvin Gaye’s iconic ‘What’s Going On’, examining societal divisions and calling for collective reflection; ‘Grow Together‘, a celebration of urban farming and community-building inspired by organizations likeBonton Farms; and ‘One Good Thing‘, co-written with Hunter Hayes and inspired by a powerful story from Harry Belafonte about finding common ground to create meaningful change.
