UNVEILS SURPRISE BONUS TRACK “I HOPE YOU DIE FIRST”
HIGHLY ANTICIPATED NEW ALBUM WILLSON
OUT SEPTEMBER 6
|
[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.”  “‘Running Out of Time’ is a liberating, intimate, and unfiltered declaration.”

Story: Ralph Greco, Jr.
Today, Nashville-based artist Ashe unveils a new song, “I Wanna Love You (But I Don’t),” with an accompanying video co-directed by Ashe herself—Listen HERE and watch HERE. The track, produced by Collin Pastore and Jake Finch (boygenius), is taken from her long awaited third studio album, Willson, set for release September 6—pre-order HERE and pre-save it HERE.
In celebration of her forthcoming LP, Ashe shares an additional surprise bonus track, “I hope you die first,” today—listen/share HERE.
“I just didn’t like myself very much and put on that I was this confident, sort of ray of sunshine and it all made me feel like a fraud,” Ashe says. “Writing ‘I Wanna Love You (But I Don’t)’ was the first time I tried to address all that musically and was so scary and so healing and I’m kinda surprised I’m releasing it at all but here we are!”
The new singles arrive on the heels of Ashe’s first taste of new music in almost two years, “Running Out Of Time,” which debuted last month. The song was also produced by Pastore and Finch alongside writers Julian Bunetta, Steph Jones (Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso”)—listen/share HERE
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 Springs, NY. 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 Vogue, FADER and more, while her subsequent debut album, Ashlyn (2021), saw praise from Variety, Billboard, and Nylon, with People calling the record a “profound listen.”
