ASHA - Record Straight

Hotly-tipped alt-R&B artist ASHA continues her emergence onto the London scene as one of the most hotly-tipped young female singer/songwriters of 2015 and seamlessly into the Ones To Watch categories for 2016. Formerly a street-dance teacher, a raw sexuality as well as a knowing city-hustle exudes from her, simultaneously conjuring a mix of vulnerability, coyness, power and yearning.

Building serious hype in the wake of her two previous releases this year – her incendiary debut single, "We Can Do This" and her cathartic, self-empowering follow-up, "Chapters", ASHA returns with her third offering called "Record Straight", which sees her chart new territory. That unique realness is back in full effect over a markedly more bouncy, yet satisfyingly metallic production that projects ASHA's mantra for her generation growing up today: self-empowerment, self-respect, not being a fool, not taking any shit.

The timely dose of ASHA's intoxicating freshness sees her unmistakable vocal on a more upbeat, bouncy R&B instrumental with her ability to cut through the bull and document what's real cemented as amongst the finest and most vital coming out of London right now.
