The track showcases a powerful new side to the artist and her sound
So often an artist that is acclaimed for the layered and expansive nature of her alternative pop sound and the creativity she embodies, Salt Ashes has decided to strip things back on her latest single ’10 + 2′, a track that sees the artist instead letting the lyrics and her impassioned vocals take centre stage in a moving tribute to her late father.
This approach makes the track feel even more striking and memorable due to the contrast to the rest of her work, the delicate nature of the instrumentation and the composure and soft power in her vocals brings this tenderness and vulnerability that feels captivating and consuming throughout, as the lyrics delve into specific memories and experiences that have shaped the artist and the person that she become. Needless to say, this track is a rollercoaster of emotion and feelings, and highlights that sometimes the most impactful and powerful thing that you can do is just wear your heart on your sleeve and eschew all of the chaos for something raw and beautiful.
