Since the release of his last record, “Africa The Motherland,” Alwayne Love and his management team at T25 Records have been working diligently to promote the track and develop strategic plans for the future. Among their strategies is the rollout of several singles over the next few months.
The first of the aforementioned singles is “Wake Up,” scheduled for release on May 30, 2025. Unlike “Africa The Motherland,” this upcoming song focuses more on the artist Alwayne Love. It not only showcases his talents as a songwriter and vocalist but also provides insight into his thoughts through its lyrics.
