A multidisciplinary artist from Melbourne, Australia, contemporary creator Brett Ashby has defined their legacy through commitment to authenticity at every turn. Known for taking an innovative approach to his own creative process, he has long been praised for a philosophy that demands authenticity in everything he produces or performs. Bolstering his musical repertoire with increasing acclaim, he prepares to step deeper into the limelight with the release of his fourth studio single, “Over.” Featuring vocal contributions from fellow artist “Queenie,” the single proves itself as a sensitive and tender ballad, centered on the eternal pursuit of personal growth, told with nuance and experience throughout its verses.
A softly plucked electric guitar plays reverberantly through our speakers to begin the piece, and immediately we feel the world of this music being built around us in real time. As Queenie’s vocals appear in a resonant, yet sentimental tone, the lyrics pierce through our speakers with abundant validity and an opening verse that reads like poetry, singing “Feeling incomplete without someone… I dressed in black, I praised you… Reflecting, absorbing the unknown silence between love and fear, believing nothing’s untouchable.” Exuding vulnerability in both the lyrics and musicality, the single serves as a powerful example of the artist’s proclivities for manufacturing full bodied and well rounded listening experiences, not just memorable earworm melodies.
An incredible example of the direction this artist plans to take their budding fourier into music in, fans can only wait with anticipation to see what could possibly come next from their mind and studio.
