Toronto R&B-pop singer Ali Gatie bears his soul on his lovesick new EP, The Idea of Her. On the EP, Ali Gatie sounds both full of hope and as vulnerable as ever. Through moving stories and metaphors, he explores the endless rollercoaster of emotions that being in (and out of) love brings.
Throughout, Ali expands on his stripped-down sound, singing in his native Arabic for the first time on the heavy-hearted ballad "Can’t Let You Go," duetting with rising singer-songwriter Tate McRae on "Lie to Me," and spreading his wings with Marshmello and Ty Dolla $ign on the upbeat anthem "Do You Believe."
“This song started as a ballad for me,” he says. “I loved the idea of a song about running away and choosing love over everything. After finishing it, I felt like a song about believing in the power of love should feel more anthemic and heroic. That’s why I decided to collaborate with Marshmello and Ty Dolla $ign.”
