Laments of Lost Light: ALi's 'INSIDE OUT' is poetry born out of fractured mirrors.

Step into the hyperpop realms of ALi's new tune compilation 'Inside Out'! As someone who's always finding new ways to elope the ordinary with his sound, ALi's sonic tapestries are the perfect fusion of electrifying beats and introspective lyricism, making one escape into music. His sound is a result of endless inspiration from genres like hip-hop, pop and R&B. With so much lore to his name currently, he debuted with his first studio album at the ripe age of 15. Focusing on a more retrospective view of life, let's experience the halos of ALi's 'INSIDE OUT'.


ALi
ALi

Endlessly swimming in an ocean of life coming full circle, this explicitly records all the collisions between one's mind and heart in the most majestic manner possible.

We break into the album's world with 'GROWTH SPURT', which is a track about being accepting of what's going around you and allowing yourself to openly deny what your social bubble is offering you. The artist also highlights how he chose to care or listen to people that he shouldn't have. Another track that exceptionally stood out to me was 'YOU'. A track that starts with a pacifying water flow, this feels like a soft-brewing of newborn romance, where the artist is talking about how he's finally letting his emotions and feelings flow towards a person as love and affection, letting his heart breathe. He also mentions how his acts were targeted towards them.


The sparks of love and possessiveness rise even more with tracks like 'LIKE THAT' and 'DANCING WITH YOU', where Ali is expressing his endless yearning for his loved one, wanting to have all their time, love and energy for himself. With a dance-type groovy beat, the tracks have a very radiant summery flow to them which is very similar to OMI's iconic 'Cheerleader


'SOMEONE LIKE U' is like reaching another peripheral of romance. The initial flow here is very similar to Taylor Swift's 'We Are Never Getting Back Together', and feels like a male's response to it, where the artist is pleading with her to get back together with him, as he continues to yearn with his entire soul for her. 'THINGS I NEVER SAID' is a soft moment of self-reflection and dilemma that consumes one as one relentlessly revisits the past. Last but not least, we end this journey on an emo-pop video game with beats of 'WAY IT GOES'. This is cosmic, hyperreal and super catchy.


Overall, I found this album very amusing and so will you!
