Inside the World of Nali, the Brooklyn-Born Songbird Turning Emotions Into Mixtapes
Nali Is R&B’s Best-Kept Secret — But Not for Long
There’s a quiet kind of magic in Nali’s music — something soft and soulful that sneaks into your chest before you realize how deeply it’s moved you.
The 22-year-old singer and model has been turning heads in the underground R&B scene since 2020, and now, with the release of her debut mixtape I Love Nali (out August 20 via Courtesy Of Records), she’s inviting everyone into her world.
The project feels like a love letter to her younger self — jazzy and reflective, yet soaked in cool confidence. There’s the warmth of “4U,” a slow-burning standout with over 900k Spotify streams, and the sharp sting of “Crossfaded,” a guitar-laced confession that feels like a diary entry.
But I Love Nali isn’t just a mixtape — it’s a culmination of the journey that started back in Brooklyn, where Nali, born to Puerto Rican and Jamaican parents, first fell in love with the piano as a child. She began making music during the pandemic and has since built a loyal fanbase off nothing but honesty, voice, and vibes.
The result? A new kind of R&B star. One who doesn’t shout to be heard — she whispers, and the world leans in.
