"McGuirk’s vocals are the spotlit focal point, bolstered by swelling harmonies, bursts of smoky guitar,
soulful organ melodies, and luxuriant grooves. The resultant track is a spellbinding work of timeless soul beauty, offering a tasteful fusion of classic stylings with a bright modern sheen.” ––UNDER THE RADAR
Today Under the Radar premiered “X Boyfriends", the second single from Ali McGuirk's upcoming Signature Sounds debut Til It's Gone. Like the rest of Til It’s Gone, McGuirk dips in and out of a multitude of genres and sub-genres, but never strays too far from her rhythm and blues essence, keeping “X Boyfriends” upbeat and fun with hopes to, in her words, “empower some people and make us all feel good.”
Til It’s Gone was produced by Yep Roc recording artist Johan Tolchin and features Grammy-nominated jazz pianist Larry Goldings, singer Valerie Pinkston (Ray Charles, Luther Vandross), percussionist Lenny Castro (Stevie Nicks, Stevie Wonder), multi-instrumentalist Fred Tackett (Little Feat), and more. They provided the astounding chops, but the true magic of Til It’s Gone comes from McGuirk’s singular voice as both singer and songwriter.
