Ali Love – Moscow Girl

Fitting I should come across Ali Love’s, “Moscow Girl” while gearing up for a Saturday night.  If you like shimmering disco lights and Giorgio Moroder-esque basslines, than this is for you.  Ali Love was also featured as a vocalist on The Chemical Brothers track, “Do It Again”.  One thing that stands out while listening to his music is the undeniable  Prince influence on Ali’s music, which for me is a win.

Ali Love – Smoke and Mirrors (Radio Edit)
