We had the pleasure of Ashe giving us a full breakdown of both Part I and Part II, sharing intimate details of her own life, and the backbone of the project which was bad toxic relationships. Set amongst her emotionally charged vocal performances and indie-pop productions, Ashe isn't holding anything back in her work. Check out the 2 part EPs and her full breakdown below.
Chapter 1:
Figured Out
- Couldn’t help myself with this one, I 98% of the time have zero figured out in my life and I’m definitely a sucker for comparing myself to the people around me. Amazing that once I put this out, I realized how very not alone I was in feeling like this.
Bachelorette
- You can’t force someone to feel something they don’t or make them make up their minds. “I can’t make you love me if you don’t” — Bonnie Raitt
Shitty Places, Pretty Faces
- This one is a big “finding myself” kind of song. We don’t have to stay in situations that are toxic. As much as it may feel like it, we’re not stuck. I wanted someone to tell me this when I was falling apart in my marriage.
Moral of the Story
- The song that started it all. “In the end it’s better for me, that’s the moral of the story.” It’s hard to except when you’ve made a mistake in love or life. But realizing all those mistakes have made you who you are and have helped shape the life you’re in you puts a different light on things.
Chapter 2:
In Disguise
- Not everyone is trustworthy! Keep your circle small, know who you can trust and share your story/secrets with. Not everyone has your best intention at heart.
Cold In California
- Cold in California is about my love hate relationship with California and more importantly, with myself. I was born and raised in the NorCal and now live in Los Angeles. I have spent more time in my life here than anywhere else in the world. It’s a magical and painful place, just like my heart is. (Ooo deep). Haha. But honestly. As many musicians have gone before, this song is me grappling with my home.
Immature
- Simple as this: I have a long way to go. Still very immature in so many ways. I can’t wait to be a wise old lady one day.
Not How It’s Supposed To Go
- Back to emotional abusive relationships! There’s a new normal out there for you if all you’ve known are dysfunctional relationships. I know it’s incredibly painful to let something go, especially when it’s all you know, but I promise you, there’s a better way. You don’t have to be miserable in love.
