Ye Ali’s “Gemini”, EP, released on May 30, 2025, offers a concise yet immersive experience into his signature blend of R&B and soul. Spanning just 12 minutes across five tracks, the EP is designed for those late-night moments of introspection and connection.
“BABYONME (feat. Dcmbr)”
Opening the EP, “BABYONME” sets a sultry tone with its smooth melodies and intimate lyrics. The collaboration with Dcmbr adds depth, creating a duet that feels both personal and universally relatable. The track’s mid-tempo rhythm invites listeners into a space of vulnerability and desire.
“DANCEONME”
“DANCEONME” shifts the energy slightly, introducing a more upbeat tempo while maintaining the EP’s sensual atmosphere. The track’s catchy hook and rhythmic beats make it a standout, encouraging movement and embodying the flirtatious side of late-night encounters.
“2MUCHTIME”
Concluding the trio, “2MUCHTIME” delves into themes of longing and reflection. The slower tempo and emotive lyrics showcase Ye Ali’s ability to convey deep emotion, providing a poignant end to this segment of the EP.
Ye Ali’s Gemini EP plays like a midnight diary, quietly intense, emotionally self-aware, and designed to linger long after the last note. Across just five tracks, the project moves through sensuality, longing, and reflection without ever overstaying its welcome. It’s a short listen, but it feels complete and every track adds a distinct mood to the atmosphere, like different shades of the same late-night conversation.
The project thrives on restraint. There’s no filler, no rush to flex vocal acrobatics or production overload. Ye Ali leans into his strengths: smooth, understated vocals, silky production, and lyrics that speak in a coded intimacy. He doesn’t overshare, he implies. That’s where Gemini gets its edge.
Each song feels like a page from a moment, whether it’s the romantic high of “BABYONME,” the seductive pulse of “DANCEONME,” or the internal drift of “2MUCHTIME.” They’re not trying to be anthems; they’re trying to capture a feeling. And they succeed.
The entire EP has a mood-board quality, vibey, moody, nighttime ready. It fits perfectly into those moments when you’re in your head, when you’re driving alone, or when the night gets quiet and you finally hear yourself. It’s a late-night R&B capsule that feels minimal in production, but rich in emotional tone. For fans of grown, understated, nocturnal music, it hits the mark.
