An up-and-coming, Malaysian/Bornean artist named a_shes divides his time between London and Cambridge. Equipped with only an old MacBook and GarageBand, but unstoppably motivated by his dream to musically succeed, he is developing nostalgic synth-pop productions that relate to the trials and tribulations that the younger gender has experienced during the pandemic.
a_shes writes his music with the intention of capturing the rollercoaster ride that is the chaotic and frightening, yet exhilarating and exciting journey of growing up and accepting adulthood. He aspires to release a dance pop smash with an independent spin as a follow-up to his breakthrough track “Movies and Music”.
His latest track and sophomore single “Party Politics” takes the thrill and anxiety of partying as a young adult and juxtaposes it with a sense of the younger generation trying to find their place in a brand-new world. In-keeping with the song’s natural one-on-one battle tactic, it also expertly blends the exhilarating sounds of the late 2000’s dance anthems, with the reflective language of a 2010’s indie pop.
Party Politics was co-produced by Palestinian producer Imad Salhi and composed by a_shes, and does a wonderful job of capturing the spiritual high of a wild night out, and then the subsequent self-reflection that follows as a post-party life debrief.
