listen hear! spotlights a song we like and think you will too.
Highly acclaimed singer-songwriter Ashe shared her sexy new single and video for “Emotional.” It will appear on her anxiously awaited sophomore album Rae, out on October 14th via Mom + Pop.
On the story behind the track, Ashe shared, “Sometimes we just take things far too seriously in love and sometimes it’s just about driving a little too fast and having a little too much fun.”
About the upcoming album, she said, “I’m stepping into a fun and sexy era. We care too much about what others think of us. When I don’t pay attention to that, the songs break through the noise. The biggest thing I want you to pull from the album is, ‘Do your thing, have fun, and don’t give a shit about what people think’.”

The psychedelic-infused video directed by Jason Lester, gives life to the carefree tune and is reminiscent of The Velvet Underground’s live performance at Andy Warhol’s Factory.
