Today, Toronto artist Ali Gatie releases an acoustic version of his runaway hit "It's You" via Warner Records. When Ali first recorded "It's You," it was a short video clip of this acoustic version which he posted on Instagram of him singing it in the studio that brought interest around the song to a fever pitch online. The acoustic track now arrives as the demo was originally recorded and around all of the recent success of the previously released version (which has amassed over 148 million cumulative streams across platforms globally, currently climbing the Billboard Hot 100 chart).
