The debut single from Ashby Manson, “Animals”, marks the interplay between art and music in an ostentatious, yet captivating fashion. The song was created through the collaboration of Michele Braid, a Parisian showgirl, and Brett Ashby, an Australian experimental artist with 17 years in the industry. The track is haunting and irresistible at the same time. “Animals” serves as a prelude to their upcoming album, ‘Daddy Issues’, and lingers in the listener’s mind for quite some time due to its raw and soulful energy blended with sultry undertones.
The track is by all means owned and driven forward by Michele’s voice. Her powerhouse vocal capabilities cut through the noise layered over the music, transcending every single note into the stratosphere of emotion. Being a seasoned singer for over 25 years, Michele can translate passion into reality through every single one of her songs. “Animals” showcases her headlining spot at Pink Paradise and her performances in front of British tabloids, also serving a taste of her dramatic flair that feels invigorated. As a result, she now exits the studio with a sense of relief. And indeed it is a song that she claims to fit perfectly. Brett Ashby is widely known for his celebrity-like status in the world of performative art, and behind every frame of “Animals”, there is an essential component that shapes the song – Brett Ashby himself. It is his experimental art background that contributes to the brooding dark aura of the song which makes it both avant-garde and emotional. Brett’s vision, paired with Michele’s voice, creates a song that feels innovative in its approach to combining visual art and music, a feat that can only be described as a breathtaking revolution.
In the song “Animals”, it is clear from both artists that there is a culmination of devotion towards pushing the boundaries. The songs they create together are filled with a certain level of chemistry that inspires creativity, leading to the unorthodox approach to making the music. The track is a large statement on how they intend to shape the musical world. As Michele puts it, “It’s all just fckn art” which is perfectly encapsulated with this approach.
The work of Manson Ashby is highly anticipated, and “Animals” only intensifies that sentiment. It is a portrayal of a captivating mix of raw emotion, dark charisma, and integrity that guarantees much more to come from this duo. Get ready to unleash your inner animal with this unbelievable debut.
