Selena Gomez), "
My Way" is a motivational anthem set to piano that explodes into a harmonious chorus. Take a look and listen to the official music video for "
My Way" here: https://aloeblacc.lnk.to/MyWay/youtube
All Love
Everything is Aloe's first album since his 2013 Grammy-nominated major label debut, Lift Your Spirit. All Love
Everything was created through the lens of Aloe as a family man and is also the singer-songwriter's first collection of material written as a father, a journey that's expanded his already heartfelt artistic palette.
Says Aloe about All Love Everything: "Rather than a genre, my music is about A.I.M.: affirmation, inspiration, and motivation. After so many opportunities to talk about my music and not feel comfortable saying, 'I'm a pop artist' or 'I'm a folk artist,' I had this realization. My songwriting genre is thematic."
Throughout All Love Everything, Aloe exhibits the radical empathy and emotional directness that has helped firmly establish his global stardom. Whether it's the stand-out closer "Harvard" — a heartrending storytelling song in the tradition of
Joni Mitchell and
Bill Withers that finds Blacc singing with disarming candor about a woman working two jobs to support her family, including a child with special needs — or the candid and percussive devotion ode "Corner," Aloe's songwriting remains as affecting as ever. Drawing on an eclectic mix of soul, folk, and contemporary pop, All Love
Everything proves that there's no pigeonholing the human experience.

Aloe Blacc is a singer, songwriter, producer, and activist born to Panamanian immigrants who settled in California. Aloe was raised on the musical stylings of salsa, merengue, and cumbia and eventually discovered artists like KRS-One, Donny Hathaway, Joni Mitchell, and
James Taylor - inspiring his unique fusion of soul, folk, R&B, and pop. From crossover hit "I Need a Dollar" to the chart-toppers "
Wake Me Up" and "The Man," Aloe has stamped his name on the music scene globally.
In 2019, Avicii's family honored their son's wish to have Aloe Blacc's vocals feature on the first track from Avicii's posthumous album, TIM. The song "SOS" was released in April to a welcome response from
Avicii fans worldwide and topped the charts in several countries around the world, hitting No. 1 on the US Dance Charts. Several other collaborations with hit producers followed, including works with
David Guetta, Lost Frequencies, Gryffin, Flight Facilities, Young Bombs, Mesto, and Hellberg.
