Following the release of her incredible 2009 solo album, Embers, Nadia Ali is slowly unveiling her latest project (of many): The Queen of Clubs Trilogy.
Over a period of three months, Ali will be releasing three albums worth of remixes from her ever-growing discography including songs recorded with Iio, as well as her many features and collaborations with artists such as Schiller and Tocadisco.

Last week, I interviewed Nadia Ali about her upcoming collaborations–and now, we can hear one of her latest!
This is the just-released video for Ali’s collaboration with German electronic artist, Schiller, “Try.”
Like the song (which has only been unveiled in full with the release of this video), it’s a light and gorgeous affair, full of bright colors and smoke. Nadia looks gorgeous, and the dancers add a nice touch of drama to the otherwise uncomplicated affair.
As for the song, “Try” is absolutely haunting–a fabulous work of sad disco, ready to be put on repeat time and time again. I love!
“Try” is the first single off of Schiller’s upcoming album Atemlos, and will be released on March 12.

Nadia Ali is one of the greatest natural voices on the dance floor scene.
Formerly of Iio (“Rapture”, “Is It Love?), the singer has since embarked on her own successful career as a solo artist. After a series of songs recorded with artists including Rosko and Armin van Buuren, Ali finally unveiled her long-awaited debut album Embers in September of 2009.
A stunning collection of heavenly trance music and ambient sound, the album showcases both Ali’s unique vocal delivery and her knack for scribing deeply personal, sophisticated electronica, proving why she’s since become such an overwhelmingly admired, oft-requested collaborator for producers and artists alike.
Last Friday, I had the honor of speaking to Nadia as she prepared for a trip to Brazil. She was amazingly kind and as sweet as expected, and she provided a lot of thoughtful, in-depth responses to my questions. Instead of drafting up a short feature, I thought her fans would instead appreciate the full-on Q&A. Below is the entire transcript. I hope you all enjoy!
