Wanderlust

Wanderlust (also titled Wanderlust: A Collection of Covers) is a tribute album by British recording artist Alesha. It was released on August 24, 2009, by Ensemble Entertainment. Wanderlust is comprised of cover versions of specific songs and artists that inspired Alesha during the recording of her sixth studio album Bigger Than God (2009). For example, it includes a cover of David Bowie's "We Are the Dead", which Alesha sampled on her number one hit "Apocalypse City". Additionally, the album features guest vocals from frequent collaborators Shell Ruin and Putanovska.

The release of Wanderlust was preceded by Alesha's cover of "Earth Song" by Michael Jackson, issued in some territories as an AA-side with "Bear Dance". Wanderlust became Alesha's sixth album to peak at number one. It sold 347,509 copies in less than 15 weeks on the chart. At that time, the album was pulled from retailers. In 2011, Wanderlust was removed from online music retailers and streaming services, making it the rarest album in Alesha's repertoire.
