Speaking on the story behind the EP, Ashlie SKye shares; “Stories of finding my feet in places that I thought were "love" but turned out to be searches for validation, care, comfort or a sense of permanence and home. This EP takes you through the journey of facing uncertainty and becoming bold enough to share uncomfortable feelings in the pursuit of connecting to people through music. In making this, I let go of any shame connected with being sensitive, and seeking love both always and early on in my life. The process of creating this EP transformed me - from a scared, self indulgent, obsessive young girl into a hopeful, patient, and determined musician.”
Born in London, Ashlie moved every three years around South Africa and the Caribbean in her youth. She found herself using music as her one constant in life, and this debut project is a reflection of that, as it symbolises the process she has taken to land where she is today. The notable level of honesty and intimacy tied into the expression and lyricism of Ashlie’s new work, makes this project all the more compelling, as it comes directly from the heart.
