Ashley Singh, 17 | Track Review 🎵

I

ndie pop has just opened its door to the fabulous new release from Ashley Singh. “17” is a track with heaps of charisma and a melody which comes sharper than a serpent’s tooth.

Ashley Singh is a relatively new name on the scene, and it is the first time I have come across his music. But, I am still unsure why because his previous releases are just as stable as this one and both of his last tracks have surpassed 40k streams on Spotify. Although numbers are not everything, it proves he is a name to keep high on the breakthrough radar.

Hailing from London in the UK, Ashley gets the song underway with a strong vocal performance. It instantly grips and lays a clear foundation of what to expect with the rest of the track. Also, a captivating guitar rhythm plays out which harmonies well with his vocal range. It all keeps fairly chilled until the chorus hits. Here we are in with a thumping drum rhythm and flamboyant bass line.

Vocally, Ashley has taken influence from some of the greatest names in the game including Coldplay and Joni Mitchell. But he also brings a new flavour to the party. He has a knack for transparently expressing his story and those who relish a meaningful track will be in their element on “17”.

Overall, it is a very poignant track which speaks about Ashley’s love encounters. He states he will never let his loved one down and the emotion he feels is put on full display here which makes it hard not to get onto his wavelength.

You can take a listen to “17” below. It is a treat which I am sure you will appreciate.
