BRAND NEW AND SEALED 2LP on translucent 3 colour splatter vinyl. 15 tracks
All the Beauty in This Whole Life finds Ali rekindling his long-running collaboration with Atmosphere producer Ant, and together they’ve crafted a purposefully uplifting sound. Throughout, Ali focuses on familiar topics: his family, his religion, his travels. Ant’s production is sparse but effective, dovetailing a few instruments at a time into basic soul and boom-bap numbers. At worst, the music sounds painted by numbers, but Ant still has plenty capacity for inventive, funky simplicity. It’s a style that fits Ali, who raps from his belly and puffs his voice up and out of his chest, stringing together sneakily sing-song couplets.
