We could be Heroes – me and you – with Alesso’s new music video featuring the awesome vocals of Tove Lo. The crazy video is a like an X-Men movie, full of everyday heroes with extraordinary powers. Directed by Emil Nava, the video is slick and stylish with as good a plot as some Hollywood movies!

The story starts in an underground research facility/prison where young adults with extraordinary powers are being kept for research. Alesso is the one that comes to free them. Keeping inline with the title of the track this superhero themed visual is a perfect storyline for the song and the ending will have you gasping in shock/sorrow – no spoilers, don’t worry.
Heroes is the first track to be taken from Alesso’s debut album and this big room-progressive jam is Alesso at his most epic. He debuted the track at Tommorrowland earlier this year and it was premiered on Pete Tong’s BBC Radio 1 show last month. Alesso also brought Tove Lo to Ibiza and they performed live together for the first time at Ushuaia.
In a recent interview with Vibe magazine, Alesso explained what he goes through to make sure a song is perfect and ready for release: “It’s that last minute stomach goose bump feeling. It just feels right. I’ve worked on songs that I think are finished but when I go back, work on something else, it’s a special unique feeling that needs to be one hundred percent sure. I would never release a track and be like “Let’s see how this goes”. I need to be a hundred percent sure. I need to feel that it feels right.”
