Today, ALA.NI releases her self-directed video for her song Ol’ Fashioned Kiss. The images are a literal depection of the song’s title, and portrays an ode to tenderness and intimacy. Watch Ol’ Fashioned Kiss now via Youtube.

Among ALA.NI’s ancestors is great uncle Leslie Hutchinson, A.K.A Hutch, an international music-hall star from the 1930s who helped her find her path. ALA.NI has sung alongside huge talents including Andrea Bocelli, Mary J Blige and Blur. On this debut album (recorded in London) she signs of timeless things; of love & romance and its strange, silver edges, and of the seasons of a painful relationship that flowered with spring's blossoms and died under winter's snowfall. The songs are astonishing, and blend styles like jazz, trip-hop, soul and blues. You & I lifts off the shackles from our senses and our hearts, and tells us all about one extraordinary woman and her journey.
