Editorial Reviews
GuitarOne Magazine, August 2000
Ali swings her axe with the big boys on her debut disc.
Product Description
With her newest CD, "Breathing Underwater," Ali Handal continues to explore themes of passion, sex, and the inner battle between fearless independence and the longing for companionship that defines both Ali Handal the person and Ali Handal the recording artist. This album is an acoustic-guitar driven collection of songs, sparsely arranged and produced by Ali and her co-producer Tim Bomba. Ali plays all of the guitars on the CD, and is accompanied by Wes Wehmiller on bass (of touring bands Duran Duran, Missing Persons, Lisa Loeb) & David Leach on percussion (of Ben Harper's Innocent Criminals).
Ali treats the familiar theme of love lost in her uniquely bittersweet way, as well as writing several atypical love songs for various members of her family (although nothing close to her funky feline love song "Indy" from her first CD - there are no sampled cat meows on this whole record!).
Ali's music has been featured both in films and many TV shows, including Sex in the City, Joan of Arcadia, Life As We Know It, Dawson's Creek, and several shows on MTV & VH-1.

Ali Handal is Awesome, and so is this CD!,
This review is from: Dirty Little Secret (Audio CD)
Who says girls can't play rock guitar? Ali Handal proves those critics wrong! Not only by playing but by writing or co-writing all the tracks on the CD. Tight play and awesome fretwork. Who needs (or would want) all the bleach blonde pop clones out there when we have the real thing right here!

You Gotta Get It!,

This review is from: Dirty Little Secret (Audio CD)
This CD is wonderful because it offers something for every music lover. "Dirty Little Secret" combines amazing guitar playing with powerful, fun vocals to create songs that really reach her audience. Wouldn't you love to use the line "They say good things come to those who wait, but don't waste my time!" .....Or how about "He wakes me up each morning by sitting on my head" (you gotta hear the whole song to understand..meow! ) If you like Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Page, Alanis Morrisette, Ani Difranco, and/or Red hot Chili Peppers, you can hear a taste of it all in this album. My personal favorites on this album (although the more I hear it the more my favorites change) are: In Your Name, Slave To Ambition, and Distance (and of course, Indy). She Rocks! Buy it today. She even has a money back guarantee if you don't like it (I found that out on her website), so you just can't lose!

She rocks!,

This review is from: Dirty Little Secret (Audio CD)
Ali plays the guitar like she means it, writes lyrics that are intelligent and witty, melodies that stick with you, rhythms you can dance to, and she can raise the roof with the power of her singing!
