Ashlie Skye’s ‘Day One’: A love letter to new beginnings.

‘Day One’, the latest single from undercover star Ashlie Skye, is a dizzy-dancey, nostalgic and disarmingly intimate love letter. Aptly titled, the track marks the beginning of a new chapter, both for the listener and for Ashlie’s creative journey.

Reflecting on it, she says: ‘something shifted in my songwriting and my vision for music, and I knew then I needed to go back to the drawing board and learn to make music that uplifted people’.

What unfolds is a song that feels like a conversation with a close friend, equal parts comforting and transformative. Her sonic world blends shimmering guitars with light drum grooves, and a guitar solo for the ages. This song will be soundtracking autumnal trips to the beach, and acts as a promise that change can be joyous rather than terrifying. This single is her statement of intent, a reminder that Ashlie Skye is an artist in bloom.
