On the new album, Ashe shares, “Since my debut is called Ashlyn and Rae is my middle name, it seemed like the only name for my sophomore album. I’ve inevitably created a trilogy. Rae reminds me of California sunshine, but it also has a Western grit. Every day, you’re in the middle of your life from being born to dying. I’m in the middle of my life. Rae marks the next era.”
Rae kicks off with first single, “Another Man’s Jeans”, 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, “I don’t want to talk about the fights in your mustang, let’s just think about the nights drinking rosé-colored champagne.”
Later on she is joined by her life-long hero and fashion icon, Diane Keaton for the beautiful and soothing “Love Is Letting Go”, her dusky delivery coasts over embers of acoustic guitar and a soft beat on “Hope You’re Not Happy.” Ominous percussion simmers, she takes aim at prehistoric industry sexism on “Angry Woman.” With its psychedelic Floyd-inspired title, “Shower With My Clothes On” bottles anxiety inside of minor chords and a dynamic delivery. The upbeat piano, buoyant tambourine and seventies-style groove of “omw” embodies her confidence. Rae concludes on “Fun While It Lasted.” 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 has also announced tour dates. You can view FEMMUSIC’s photos of her last tour here.
