ASHE CONFIRMS NEW ALBUM WILLSON OUT SEPTEMBER 6

 
“RUNNING OUT OF TIME” DEBUTS TODAY + VIDEO
RETURNS TO STAGE FOR FIRST LIVE PERFORMANCE IN OVER A YEAR WITH NIALL HORAN
 
 
[Of Ashlyn] “a powerful portrait of the human behind Ashe…a profound listen.”
“…remarkably talented…with melodies that skip from childlike simplicity to sophisticated complexity from one line to the next.”
“…singer-songwriter Ashe’s music makes you feel like you’re in the company of a close friend. It’s both striking and authentic, deeply familiar and immediately comforting.”
“If she keeps evolving at the same pace, it will be oh-so-enticing to see where
she will lead us next.”

Today, Nashville-based artist Ashe confirms her third album, Willson, is set for release September 6. In celebration she debuts a new song, “Running Out Of Time”—listen/share HERE
“While ‘Running Out Of Time’ moonlights as a love song, it’s about self-exploration and independence,” says Ashe. “For me, that looked like getting out of Los Angeles, getting more comfortable with things like my mortality and worrying less about the opinion of others. It feels like such the right sentiment after a long time away.”
The song was written alongside Julian BunettaSteph Jones (Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso”) and producers Collin Pastore and Jake Finch (boygenius).
Willson finds Ashe returning to Nashville and her songwriting roots, rediscovering herself after a bout of artistic and personal confusion. The project marks a notable new chapter for the songstress who made the decision to step away from music following the successes of her previous two albums Ashlyn (2021)—which featured the global hit “Moral of the Story”—and Rae (2022).
Ashe returned to the stage for the first time in over a year as a surprise guest at friend and frequent collaborator Niall Horan’s recent show in Saratoga SpringsNY last week. Together, the two performed her hit song “Moral of the Story,” on which they’ve previously duetted. The track was featured on the original soundtrack of Netflix’s To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You (2020) after gaining billions of streams and reaching #2 on both the Global and U.S. Spotify Viral 50 charts.
Ashe’s meteoric rise to pop stardom over the years has led to notable collaborations and stages shared with some of the industry’s biggest names—FINNEAS and Horan included. Her previous EPs have received critical acclaim from Teen VogueFADER and more, while her subsequent debut album, Ashlyn (2021), saw praise from VarietyBillboard, and Nylon, with People calling the record a “profound listen.”
