The name Ali Love has been flickering on music’s radar for a while, getting ever louder and more insistent.

You definitely recall his insistent vocal from the Chemical Brothers’ international hit single Do It Again. Then, at the end of last year, he returned with the yearning Italo-disco inspired Diminishing Returns, a limited-edition single which nevertheless notably topped the Hype Machine chart and also soundtracked a Skins TV ad.

That was followed earlier this year by the dark, lusty pump of the towering Love Harder single, and on July 26 by Smoke & Mirrors, a single which combines the modern electronics of Daft Punk with Ali’s Prince-like vocals.

None of which adequately prepared anyone for the full glittering spectrum of Ali Love’s Love Harder album recently released on Back Yard records.
