Escapism is the second studio album by Danish recording artist Fallulah, released on 4 February 2013 by Sony Music. It was released three years after her platinum selling debut album The Black Cat Neighborhood (2010).
It debuted and peaked at number two on the Danish Album Charts.
Fallulah trailed the album with the release of a live recording of "He'll Break Up With You When Summer Comes" on her YouTube page on 31 May 2012. The song was made available to download as a promotional single for free on her website.The Guardian branded the song "excellent", commenting, "sometimes you need to strip away all the complexities and get right to the point, which is exactly what 27-year-old Dane Fallulah (or Maria Apetri to her friends and family) does." Indie music blog Kick Kick Snare said, "the track is part stunning western infused retro rock, part explosive left-field pop, all Fallulah," adding that her "brand of avant-pop, deeply influenced by her Romanian heritage and experience in gypsy dance, stands out in the sea of pop music flooding the airwaves."
A video for the first single "Superfishyality" was released online on 7 October 2012, premiering on Politiken's website. It was released on YouTube a day later. The video was directed by Casper Balslev. Scandipop noted, "the new track arrived to much fanfare," adding, "It’s that chorus which is the star of the song, and the bit that you’ll be singing in your head long afterwards." An alternate director's cut of the video was released on 24 October 2012.
Whilst promoting the album, Fallulah performed an acoustic set on the P3 radio show "Smag på P3" on 21 February 2013. She sang "Dried-Out Cities" and a cover of "Wicked Game" by Chris Isaak. Later released as a stand-alone single, "Wicked Game" peaked at number 33 on the Danish Singles Chart on 15 March 2013.
She played at the South by Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas on 13 March 2013. On 28 March 2013, Fallulah promoted the album in the UK for the first time as the headline artist of the Ja Ja Ja show at The Lexington in London, performing alongside Pascal Pinon and Delay Trees.
