Just days after returning with his new single "Sleepwalking," Yonatan "Yoni" Aya (aka Chiiild) is back with a real stunner.

This time he has released his new song "Awake," a simmering cut featuring Jamaican-British singer Mahalia. And damn it if this isn't an absolutely perfect collaboration, as the two artists' vocals compliment each other seamlessly, bringing to life the song's lustful narrative of two lovers eagerly awaiting their reconnection.

"I love Chiiild," says Mahalia of the new track. "And I couldn’t be prouder to be a part of this beautiful song. Hope you all love 'Awake' as much as I do."

As we previously mentioned, both "Sleepwalking" and "Awake" are previews of Chiiild's upcoming Hope For Sale, which is expected this summer via tastemaker label Avant Garden Records (home to Emotional Oranges, THEY., slenderbodies and others).

Hear "Awake" below.
