Multi-talented electronic producer AVAION continues to redefine the sound of emotional dance music with the release of his brand-new single ‘NEED ME’—out now via Sony Music. Alongside the track comes the announcement of his highly anticipated second studio album, TO MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY, set for release on 16th January 2026.
The inspiration behind the album title came from a fleeting but powerful moment AVAION captured himself on the streets of Berlin: a candid voice note of two strangers concluding that their purpose was “to make people happy.” This sentiment now underpins the DNA of the new record.
Following his acclaimed debut LP Selfreflection (Spring 2025), this new chapter dives even deeper into AVAION’s unique world—where raw emotion, futuristic sound design, and communal euphoria converge. Crafted with no hidden agenda, TO MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY channels the electricity of the dancefloor into an intimate listening journey, inspired by the unity and release of his dynamic live shows.
Fans who pre-order the album will gain access to exclusive bundles including vinyl, CDs, self-designed merchandise, and first ticket access to an exclusive Berlin album launch show at Festsaal Kreuzberg on 23rd January 2026, where AVAION will perform the record in full.
The release of NEED ME arrives in what has already been a landmark year for AVAION. From his viral collaboration ‘Wacuka’ with Sofiya Nzau, to the sold-out YOU ARE SEEN European tour, and global hits including ‘Save My Love’ with Marshmello & Ellie Goulding and ‘SLOWLY’ with RANI, AVAION has established himself as one of electronic music’s most versatile and emotionally resonant voices.
Both the single and album announcement coincide with another milestone—AVAION’s UK debut at London’s XOYO, where he headlines with his immersive 360-degree live show.
‘NEED ME’ is available to stream and download now.
