Amidst the setting sun and the rushing flow of passersby in New York City’s High Line park, Music Existence had the opportunity to sit down and catch up with Brighton based electronica vocalist Salt Ashes. Her music has catchy choruses and entrancing dance rhythms that are sure to get you on your feet and strut your stuff. Salt Ashes, honest as her lyrics, lays it all out for us. We got to know how she creates her music, the most difficult aspect of being a vocalist, and how she overcomes writer’s block amongst many other things.
ME: Which tracks are you most excited to perform?
SA: ‘Whatever You Want Me to Be’, which is one of the slower numbers on the album. It’s definitely one of my favorite ones to perform so I’m excited to be able to do that one.ME: What was the thought process behind your single ‘Save It’?
SA: I co-wrote it with a guy named Rob Irving from House of Esmeralds. It was spread over a couple of sessions. But it was one of those songs that we just started with a melody and I mumbled a few lyrics and we kind of pieced it together, then we decided what it was about. So it wasn’t one of those moments “let’s write about this” it was like “this is what my words are creating” so we continued on like that.ME: If you had to choose three tracks, new or old to introduce someone to your music, which would they be and why?
SA: It would definitely be ‘Save It’, the new single, obvious (laughs).‘Whatever You Want Me to Be’ and then probably a track called ‘Wilderness’, which is like track three on the album, I think. I think that those three kind of sum up the general sound of the album.
