“The indelible flavor of Joni Mitchell, Stevie Wonder, and Roberta Flack comes into play, with hints of peppermint feelings and champagne colored horizons.”

-Come Here Floyd

“The gentle, raspy voice of 29-year-old New Yorker, Kara Ali, quickly brought me to a place of vulnerability, but not without the taste of security that comes with confidence in trials put far behind.”

-Brandon Hill, Central Sauce

Kara Ali is a NY-based soulful Singer/Songwriter. Writing a fusion of rock, folk and soul her music marries a throwback feel with modern touches for a unique and honest sound. She has strong jazzy alto vocals and her lyrics are often introspective, playful and highly relatable.
