ALA.NI

ALA.NI is a London-born artist known for her captivating vocals and genre-defying sound. Her debut album 'You & I' (2016) showcased her timeless, minimalist approach and earned widespread acclaim. She has enthralled festival crowds around the world, turned heads with her television debut on Later with Jools Holland, made a fan of David Byrne, and has collaborated with artists like Jon Batiste, Iggy Pop and Lakeith Stanfield. Soulful and inspired by the sun, ALA.NI shines on ‘Sunshine Music’. The Londoner with the golden voice is back with a new album that combines vintage and Caribbean sounds. Marked by a two-year interlude in Jamaica, Barbados and Grenada, the musician unveils eleven songs of timeless elegance, imbued with the sweetness of living in the heart of lush nature. Calypso, ragga, bossa, rocksteady... In this new album, ALA.NI allows herself subtle rewritings of the most emblematic Caribbean rhythms, with interpretations that go as far as Brazil. Her crystalline voice dances, with jazz inflections reminiscent of Sade Adu and Minnie Riperton. Inspired by a gentle life in lush landscapes, ‘Sunshine Music’ sings about love and nature, celebrating life through timelessly elegant ballads. Soulful, solar and sensual, ALA.NI revives her memories of green horizons, birdsongs and the ocean. As the child of immigrants, she is also deeply marked by living for the first time within a black majority and she sings of the damage done by imperialism.
