Budding singer/songwriter Ash kicks off the year with a brand new mixtape Learn From Her, and a visual for one of the singles. The Cleveland native sure knows her stuff, and brings a wide variety of styles on this body of work which also sees her working with producers 30HertzBeats, Jonathan Mudiayi, Kontrabandz, and BUDI.
The mixtape opens up with "Passing Thought", a dreamy pop song that displays Ash in a solemn state as she circles through various thoughts in her head. "All the Time" has a Latin guitar backdrop which raises the ante a bit as Ash vents about the somewhat lack of love she needs in her life. Other choice tracks like the heartrending "For Me" sees Ash take a hard stance in a relationship that is absolutely stuck in the mud. Here, she approaches the issue in her own unique way using layered harmonies and somewhat lethargic performance. For most of the project, Ash retains her distinct offbeat, raspy delivery and blunt lyrics over the mix of R&B, neo-soul and pop-infused soundscapes that suits her fancy.
For the visuals for "With Me", she teams up with Cleveland State University film major Valerie Garrett who helps showcase Ash in her true element. Shot in the Flats of Cleveland, Ash is shown basking in the serene atmosphere of her immediate environs. This culminates with her in the cozy arms of her man as they both enjoy a drink and more importantly each other's company. "With Me" is taken from her six-track project Learn From Her.
