Ali J. Hassan is a seasoned musician who has captivated festival stages as a rhythm guitarist and bassist, brought songs to life in the studio as a recording engineer, and ran sound for artists among the likes of Benson Boone, Elton John, and Pharrell Williams to name a few. Now entering a new era as his own artist, Hassan makes his debut with an uplifting new single entitled “Into the Winds“. The song is about surrendering to each moment and embracing your present state of being rather than worrying about the future or dwelling on the past.
“Into the Winds” comes alive with rustling riffs, striking chords of piano, and visceral vocals that cut through the surface and speak straight to the soul. Hassan sings, “All cares, all worries / Into the winds / Slow down, no hurry / To get back here again.” The lyrics are a reminder that peace can be found with a shift of mentality. “Into the Winds” asks us to let go of our expectations and appreciate ourselves for what we truly are.
Revealing more about the lyrics of “Into the Winds”, Hassan confides, “The line, ‘You’re where you’re supposed to be’ is an affirmation that, for good or bad, you’re on the right path. It’s hard to see the bigger picture when life is throwing hard times, but those hard times can be lessons and opportunities if you let them.”
Hassan wanted to send a powerful message with the release of his debut single. “Into the Winds” does just that. Not only is the track a catalyst for launching Hassan’s career as an artist, but it’s a beacon of positivity and light for his listeners. “Into the Winds” is only just the beginning for Hassan.
