The discography of Nadia Ali, a Pakistani American singer-songwriter, consists of one studio album, three compilation albums, twenty two singles (including fourteen as a featured artist) and fourteen music videos. Ali began her career in 2001 as the frontwoman of New York-based house music act iiO, whose debut single "Rapture" reached number two on the UK Singles Chart and Billboard Hot Dance Club Play Chart and charted in several other countries.[1][2] While with iiO, she released the 2005 studio album Poetica, which reached number 17 on Billboard Dance/Electronic Albums chart.[2] Apart from "Rapture", the album produced five other singles including the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play number one single "Is It Love?".[2] Ali left iiO in 2005, while the band continued to release material featuring her on vocals, most notably the 2011 studio album Exit 110.[3]
Ali began her solo career in 2006 with a collaboration with Dutch DJ Armin van Buuren, appearing on his single "Who is Watching?", which reached number 19 in Finland.[4] She released her debut solo album Embers in 2009, which was praised for her songwriting and the blend of electronic, acoustic and Eastern music.[5][6] The album spawned four singles, which included the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart-topper "Love Story", the top-ten "Fine Print" and "Crash and Burn" and the Grammy-nominated "Fantasy".[2][7] She was also featured on Tocadisco's single "Better Run", which peaked at number 15 in Belgium.[8]
In 2010, Ali released a remix compilation titled the Queen of Clubs Trilogy: The Best of Nadia Ali Remixed consisting of three albums, Ruby Edition (August 2010), Onyx Edition (October 2010) and Diamond Edition (December 2010).[9] The compilation produced one single: the re-released "Rapture", which charted in several countries in Europe and reached number three in Romania.[10] Ali's first release in 2011 was the single "Call My Name" with Sultan and Ned Shepard; the track was a club success peaking at number five on Billboard Hot Dance Club Play Chart.[2] Her second release was the track "Pressure", which became a club and festival anthem in summer 2011, while also charting in Belgium and Netherlands.[11] As of November 2010, Ali is working on her second studio album.[12]
