Awolnation's "Sail" was one of the biggest songs in the world in 2011. So far, the song has achieved 1.5 billion streams and is certified Diamond - that doesn't happen by accident.
This anonymous (and humble) musician was all of a sudden on every radio station and thrust into the spotlight after achieving a small deal with Red Bull Records.
His 5th album is now out, a collection of covers all recorded in isolation during Covid - "My Echo, My Shadow, My Covers And Me." This features some high profile vocalists:
Jewel on "Take a Chance on Me"
Beck - "Eye in the Sky"
Branden Boyd & Portugal The Man - "Wind of Change"
Taylor Hanson - "Material Girl"
The question is, did Covid help with access to these vocalists or the opposite??
This is Awolnation, on The Rider with Becko
