Butterfly Ali’s new single “Listen to Me” makes a statement in just under three minutes through a backbone of warm bass wrapped tightly around “Be My Baby” drums, along with a soulful Gibson guitar and shimmering piano. Butterfly Ali delivers a jaw-dropping throughline of upfront vocal emotion and melody evoking the legends of Motown and Stax Records. It is available now on Spotify and Apple Music, along with the Soundcloud.
Butterfly Ali’s love of Motown’s big, bright beat and contemporary laid back grooves join together creating contrasting musical textures and moods… think Frank Ocean, Andre 3000, Marvin Gaye, Anderson .Paak, and you’re getting warmer. His signature voice is soft, airy, and authentically him in his recent breakout single “Rose.” Followed by his anthemic single “Righteous” released just a couple of weeks ago. Cinematic both in production and overarching themes.
Butterfly Ali has all the charm, style, and careful attention to detail as you would expect from a perfectionist obsessed with 60’s Motown, Stax Records, and 70’s funk. For him, music delivers something that Hollywood just can’t, where he accepts nothing but complete control over his art.
He can be seen on his filming off days popping up in LA venues performing live, where he has done for the last few years cutting his teeth and honing his craft.
