Lighter by Ali Angel

There’s a grungy, retro intro to the latest brilliant single, Lighter, from LA Angel: Ali Angel. I think she’s a little bit angry this week although the anger builds steadily from a gentle start. It seems like so much water has gone under the bridge since I first wrote about Ali back in cold April now that we’re in cold November. Her releases since then have all been brilliant.

What would a queer Sheryl Crow sound like? It’s not a question anyone is ever likely to ask you. Nobody has ever asked me. But it turns out the answer is Ali Angel, the Queer Crow.

Ali introduces this song herself in an Instagram post. She is something of an astrology expert and apparently “a Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius” is not the most propitious time to be releasing new music…

But it’s ironically on theme with the song, which is all about my need to just let it rip and say some crazy impulsive shit I definitely don’t mean or scream to nobody in my car just to get out my frustration and energy. Maybe that’s something I should work on, maybe I’m just a Sagittarius hehe ✨🔥 it’s also about my frustration with hypocritical, hateful politicians and corrupt systems so I felt like November was the perfect release month. AND it’s a middle finger to all the shitty Tesla drivers who cut me off on the road :) Lighter comes out this Friday ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥
