New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The mysterious dark-pop artist ASHS delivers an unforgiving anthem to exes looking for a second chance with her latest single "Don't Call Me" released through Wax Records/Republic Records/Polydor Records/Universal Music.
The song is a message of empowerment to anyone that's been haunted by a past relationship. The accompanying music video is inspired by classic horror films like Scream, Freddy Krueger, When A Stranger Calls and sends a message with a hint of gore and suspense.
On writing the track and the thought behind the messaging of the video, ASHS explains, " Writing "Don't Call Me" was a therapeutic experience. It was me being confident enough in my growth to say, "if you change your mind, keep it to yourself." I wanted to make the video as bold as the statement. I thought of the most extreme phone call I would never want to get, and ran with that, allowing myself to be a teeny bit vengeful. Okay, maybe more than a teeny bit."
ASHS has been teasing the music video on socials with iconic moments from some of her favourite horror films and will be hosting a YouTube watch party today at 4:00PM EST with fans. Tune into the YouTube watch party here.
ASHS is on a slow-burning soul-searching mission. Slipping onto the scene in 2018, releasing two EPs through a veiled and anonymous moniker, ASHS crafted an ecosystem of smart, genre-amorphous pop, with a lushly opaque backdrop. Utilizing dark and impossibly mesmerizing synths, punctuated with euphoric instrumental flourishes, each track is bound together with lyrics that embrace her jagged edges through bold, intimate reckonings.
