Ashe Collaborates With Her Favourite Actress In Her Newest Single 'Love is Letting Go'!
Rising star, Ashe, has revealed her latest single, “Love is Letting Go (ft Diane Keaton)”, taken from her highly-anticipated sophomore album “Rae”. The track is a tender ballad Ashe penned about losing her brother to addiction. After reading Diane Keaton’s autobiography and learning that she, too, lost a brother to addiction, Ashe invited her to sing on the track.
“Love is Letting Go” is a tender ballad Ashe penned about losing her brother to addiction. After reading Diane Keaton’s memoir “Brother & Sister” and learning that she too lost her brother, Ashe invited her to sing on the track. The elegant and heartfelt track features both their voices blending together beautifully over a soft acoustic guitar. While Diane Keaton’s soulful vocals have been captured on screen in movies from Annie Hall to And So It Goes - as well as a legendary musical performance on Johnny Carson Show’ Tonight Show in 1973 - she has never released any recordings.
As a fan of Diane’s work, Ashe was well aware of her favourite actress’ vocal prowess and the idea of asking her to collaborate seemed both obvious and fantastical. Says Ashe, “I’ve spent the better part of my life idolizing and revering Diane Keaton, watching the choices she made, her career, how she treated people, how she acted in interviews - there’s no one like her. Frankly, and I could care less if this sounds dramatic, there isn’t an Ashe without a Diane Keaton. Her existence has uniquely shaped me into who I am as an artist and even more so as a person. I might as well be jumping off a cliff when I say, “I have a song coming out with Diane Keaton.” I’m not sure if this process will ever feel real for me but what I do know is that when people say “don’t meet your heroes”.. that’s true - unless it’s Diane Keaton.”
The song follows earlier releases “Emotional”, “Shower With My Clothes On”, “Angry Woman”, “Hope You’re Not Happy”, and “Another Man’s Jeans” - to be taken from Rae, the follow up to her breakthrough debut, Ashlyn. That record spawned multiple global hits, including “Moral Of The Story” and “Till Forever Falls Apart” - with FINNEAS - which was named one of the best songs of 2021 by the Los Angeles Times and surpassed 145 million streams on Spotify.
Ashe’s meteoric rise includes amassing over 1.8 billion streams, 230 million video views,7.4 million monthly Spotify listeners and a 4 million combined social media reach. She has a diverse group of notable fans, including Diane Keaton, Brian Wilson, Niall Horan, Shawn Mendes, Camilla Cabello, FINNEAS, Maggie Rogers, Dove Cameron, Arlo Parks and Sam Fischer.
Ashe will also be kicking off her Is It Me Or Is It Hot Tour on November 4 in Auckland before heading across the ditch to Brisbane, Sydney and concluding in Melbourne on November 9.
We’re super excited to see what else Ashe will be giving us in her upcoming album Rae!
