“Wide Awake” is Anou’s second upcoming studio album, and will be the first of the 5-album Radius chronicles. It is an album centered on the trilaterality and trinity of the three main modes and mediums of human sensory existence: dream life, waking life, and virtual life.

The intro (“So Much Better”) to the first volume of the album was released in November 2025, and the first lead single (“Plastic”) is set for release in December 2026, after which Anou’s path of releases will shift totally into high-energy pop releases with other singles from Wide Awake starting with “Otherside” in February 2027.

Wide Awake is about the ultimate rebirth and enlightenment to different layers and realities of the human condition through years of introspection and lessons of pain and heartbreak with a continuous drive towards evolution of the self and the mind - love, loss, pain, desire, transformation, the 4th industrial revolution - all entirely encapsuled within a sound resounding from a place that is always dying and rebirthing itself - Beirut.
