Asha Gold unveils rich pop candy ‘Up To Me’

We’ve been top fans of Asha Gold since her debut, simply because she’s the gift which keeps on giving. She’s made a comeback in preparation for her EP release at the end of this year with the zesty track ‘Up To Me’. This time she joins forces with Bamily’s Louis Fulford Smith on production to produce an effortless yet intricate number.

The track is about entering adulthood and having to give up unrealistic wishes to uphold responsibilities. Asha’s sweet vocals intertwine with first class arrangements of synths and backing vocals. While the array of instrumentation is convoluted, the individual elements are neatly packed together to compose an endearing product. The chorus is extremely catchy and the bridge sounds magical – these are key ingredients for the perfect, scrumptious pop candy.

Greatly digestible, ‘Up To Me’ explores playful realms and fragrant tones. Speaking further on the release, Asha Gold says:

“I had a lot of fun writing ‘Up To Me’ – the quicker tempo pushed me to be inventive with melody and challenged me to tell a story without crowding the space with too many words. The lyrics encapsulate a sort of playful nostalgia: it’s about growing up and entering the real world, and therefore losing the freedom to carelessly spend hours upon hours with my favourite people. I play on the idea of wanting to keep someone trapped inside so that I can have 100% of their time. Louis hints at this needy, childlike behaviour in the production – the beat is incessant whilst the instruments and samples are super playful. I’m so excited to have this track out, in time for a (hopefully) sunny August!”
