Drawing us in with a meditative synthscape, a cerebral riser, haunting astral tones and a dimensional beat, ALI open The List with subversion as vocalist and writer Ali Abdala sings, “Scratch me off your list, I’m tired of words, tired of plots and games…”

The opus expands with an assertive energy as Ali Abdala channels self-realized lyricism with sublime vocal design and captivating hooks. The sonic switch up feels transcendental, whilst maintaining the brooding core of the song. We appreciate the echoed vocals and the cohesive tapestry of sound that ALI manifests.

A hypnotic rising guitar synchs with Ali Abdala‘s repetitive mantra of “the sun will shine”, before he showcases his Brit-pop adjacent energy with sax riffs and heightened drama. Needless to say, we are absolutely in awe. The List comes with a cerebral and cinematic music video starring Eleonora Ivanova, and directed by Raya Rumenova, inviting us into the band’s hi definition universe with a twist!

It is no surprise that ALI has quickly risen to prominence in the rock music scene, achieving number one hits on the nation’s top rock radio charts with all of their singles. Their journey began with a live debut at the REBEL REBEL alternative rock festival in Sofia, followed by a live studio performance at Studio 1 and supporting the renowned Dutch band De Staat for their Bulgarian concert.

Since their arrival in 2020, ALI‘s fan base has grown significantly, with their original songs gaining airplay not only locally but also internationally in countries like France, Switzerland, Canada, and Belgium. Additionally, their single Bliss+Blasphemy was featured in a TV ad for the international animal welfare organization FOUR PAWS.

We love what ALI are creating, and have added The List to our New Music Spotlight playlist, as well as our new TRIPPY and TIMELESS playlists, whilst we continue to stream the wider discography of the band, including Bliss + Blasphemy and I Come from the Future!
