(Self-released) 2025.
CD/Digital
Vocal jazz/jazz noir/soft jazz/r’n’b – USA
Ashia Ackov has managed to attract public attention with her singing style and her original work, releasing several singles, including the successful song „If Eyes“. Her expression, the way she treats vocal emotions, as well as the general musical step, represent a blend of older and newer trends.
Yes, just like that, in one place, the 50s, 60s, 80s, and the present time are connected, but it is the voice, as well as the interpretation itself, that Acia delivers to us in her unique way all the time. A lot of vocal jazz, jazz noir, soul, and R’n’B are present in her songs, as well as on the release „Irresistible“, which contains a collection of 14 songs from her work. It is music that you listen to in one continuous sequence. Perhaps the way of emotions and certain vocal elegance will remind you of the early works of Sade, but here, an „intimate“ pastiche is particularly pronounced and highlighted. The instrumental/performance part is in the function of the vocal, but the arrangements are quite correctly set, perhaps in some places too background „pushed aside“, but the vocal effect that the singer creates, and with which she interacts with the listeners, remains the dominant factor throughout. Check out Ashia’s music on several platforms, and follow her career, which at this stage shows significant positive breakthroughs.
