Music fans, mark your calendars: after catapulting into 2025 with singles Maya and Tera Sitam, Pakistani-American singer Ali Sethi is on the brink of releasing his long-awaited upcoming album Love Language, slated for release on August 1.
“Love Language, my first full length studio album, is out on August 1,” penned the musician in a simple caption in an Instagram post on Thursday as he credited the artwork and photography underneath. “A ragamala rendezvous. I made it for me and you.”
Accompanying the message were three photos from the upcoming album’s cover art. While Ali didn’t lean into Sabrina Carpenter’s Man’s Best Friend shock tactics, there’s no denying that one colour in his carousel demands attention: red. Shiny red leather gloves, a red lace-like shirt, and a jewelled red headpiece draped across Ali’s face - all work in tandem to seize the spotlight.
The red leather gloves are worn by Ali himself - never one to shy away from experimentation - alongside yet another oversized piece of jewellery, too large to be a ring, stretched across the fingers of his left hand. Against a muted blue backdrop, this striking red motif becomes part of his signature: it’s the font colour for his name, the album title, and the names of the new tracks. In case you missed them, Ali’s red-gloved hand points directly at the swirling list of songs featured in the second photo of the carousel.
