Interview with Ashe
We had the pleasure of interviewing Ashe over Zoom video!
California-based, RIAA Platinum-certified singer-songwriter Ashe releases her sophomore album Rae via Mom + Pop along with the video for latest single \u201comw.\u201d Fourteen tracks in length, and created with close friends and collaborators Leroy Clampitt, Steph Jones, Casey Smith, Noah Conrad, John Ryan and Afterhrs, Rae ushers in a new era of confidence for the artist. Additionally, Ashe has announced her 2023 global \u201cFun While It Lasted Tour\u201d, with venues to be revealed next week.
On the new album, Ashe shares, \u201cSince my debut is called Ashlyn and Rae is my middle name, it seemed like the only name for my sophomore album. I\u2019ve inevitably created a trilogy. Rae reminds me of California sunshine, but it also has a Western grit. Every day, you\u2019re in the middle of your life from being born to dying. I\u2019m in the middle of my life. Rae marks the next era.\u201d
Rae kicks off with first single, \u201cAnother Man\u2019s Jeans\u201d, which cuts right to the chase in conversation with an ex. Wild guitar licks wrap around handclaps as horns pipe up in the background before she declares, \u201cI don\u2019t want to talk about the fights in your mustang, let\u2019s just think about the nights drinking ros\xe9-colored champagne.\u201d
Later on, she is joined by her life-long hero and fashion icon, Diane Keaton for the beautiful and soothing \u201cLove Is Letting Go\u201d, her dusky delivery coasts over embers of acoustic guitar and a soft beat on \u201cHope You\u2019re Not Happy.\u201d Ominous percussion simmers, she takes aim at prehistoric industry sexism on \u201cAngry Woman.\u201d With its psychedelic Floyd-inspired title, \u201cShower With My Clothes On\u201d bottles anxiety inside of minor chords and a dynamic delivery. The upbeat piano, buoyant tambourine and seventies-style groove of \u201comw\u201d embodies her confidence. Rae concludes on \u201cFun While It Lasted.\u201d Written on a slightly out of tune piano in Big Bear, California, she ponders the end of the previous chapter and the beginning of the next.
Ashe will embark on her global headline, \u201cFun While It Lasted Tour.\u201d The 39-date tour spans across North America, Europe, United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. See full dates below. Ashe has partnered with PLUS1 and a portion of all tour proceeds will go to supporting organizations working for equity, access, and dignity for all.
Ashe\u2019s breakthrough debut, Ashlyn spawned multiple global hits, including \u201cMoral Of The Story\u201d and \u201cTill Forever Falls Apart\u201d - with FINNEAS - which was named one of the best songs of 2021 by the Los Angeles Times and surpassed 145 million streams on Spotify. Her meteoric rise includes amassing over 1.8 billion streams, 230 million video views, 8.9 million monthly Spotify listeners and a 4 million combined social media reach
