How to pronounce i'll

That's one contraction that's been bothering me for a while. Almost every site i see or any video i watch will say that i'll is pronounced as ai?l. However, that seems to me to be an exageration. I could be wrong, but i think a pronunciation more similar to "all" would sound more natural, as i've seen a native speaker say before. In songs, however, the pronunciation of the contraction is clearly ai?l. That's why i'd like to ask you guys: what's the correct way of pronouncing this contraction?
