One Man Pop Band Robert DeLong Partners Up With TikTok Hit-Maker Ashe On New Single

One man pop band Robert DeLong has revealed his new single “Better In College”, featuring up and comer Ashe. “Better In College” is a unique and uber-catchy pop track, in which DeLong’s Autotune-heavy vocals contrast beautifully with Ashe’s old-school, vintage vocal quality. Together, Robert’s sense of groove and Ashe’s knack for melody deliver an anthem reminiscent of college days.

The perfect choice to feature on the record, Ashe has recently found worldwide success with her single “Moral of the Story”, with the latest version sporting a coveted Niall Horan feature and more than 10 million streams.

In writing the track, the pair realised they were both freshly out of relationships that started in college, and connected over feeling both a need for change and sentimental for the past at the same time. 

Robert said, “Ashe and I started writing about two weeks after I had just ended a 10 year relationship. As post-break-up conversations often do, this led to us commiserating over the recent end of both of our long-term partnerships that began as college-era romances. The process was a lovely and fluid meeting of the minds. The song was a joy to write and produce, and ended up being quite special because of it.”

While sharing their individual stories, they also discovered that they had a friend in common, a college classmate and former crush of Ashe’s. Ashe shares, "We wrote ‘Better in College’ about a guy I crushed on back in school who is ironically now a good friend of both of ours. To Rob, love ya. Guy from college, you know who you are."

We absolutely love this fun, glitchy single, and can’t wait to see what happens with Robert DeLong in the next year.
