Tommy Ashby Shares New Single ‘Whiplash’

Scottish singer and songwriter Tommy Ashby has just shared his brand new single Whiplash, the latest single to be taken from his new EP, Lay Low, out now via Wow and Flutter Records.

Featuring the ethereal vocals of singer Lydia Clowes, Whiplash is about two people who were around each other growing up but were very different and never quite had the chance get together. I am really enjoying how their vocals fit nicely together and how they soar over the Sam Okell's warm production. I am particularly fond of the delicate piano touches and how they are nicely joined by cool electronics, catchy percussion and guitar chords that create an overall intimate atmosphere that enhances the emotion of their vocal delivery and storytelling. Check it out below! 

 

Speaking about the song, Tommy Ashby said,

This song is about two people who were around each other growing up but were very different and never quite had the chance get together. As they grow up, they find themselves always looking for each other in a crowd, imagining what a certain situation would be like if they were there. As they grow up and struggle through various things, they lean on each other for support, creating a little bubble that they can live in.
