- A standout record from a house producer having a moment.
- Kareem Ali might be the house artist of the pandemic era. After working in relative obscurity for years, summer 2020 was the the Phoenix-based artist's breakthrough, with glowing press clips in Pitchfork and Rolling Stone, to name a few. Ali put out over 100 tracks last year, but if you're just getting hip, his most recent EP, Getting Through, is an ideal place to start. The five-track EP demonstrates his versatility, from the French Touch reminiscent opener, "Como Me Siento Por Ti (Instrumental Version)," to "Feelings Never Go," an intricate arpeggio-based dance track accentuated by Ali's dreamy R&B-influenced vocals. The charging closer, "Euphoria," puts a modern touch on chord-heavy '90s house and encapsulates the uplifting musicality of Ali's sound.
