Music News - Ashley Hughes To Release New Solo Album On 26 February
19 February 2016 - 0 Comments
Ashley Hughes has been involved in the music industry under a few different monikers for over 15 years. However, with his new mini album Cold Night Dark Mourning he lays himself out for all to see. His experiences over the last few years have led him to a place where he needs to be real in the truest possible sense.
"Four years of heartache following the loss of my younger brother, manifested into these songs,” says Ashley. “This project has been a process, not only to create the music, but also to free me from the dark place my mind was in".
Out of tragedy he has re-invented his sound and his soul. He has things to say, not for effect, not for money or success, but for him, for his friends, family, and for the future.
Cold Night Dark Mourning is available through MTC/Warner Music NZ from February 26th, 2016 and features contributions from Sid Diamond, Janine and The Mixtape, Anna Coddington, Mikey Mayz, Possum Plows, Edgar from Midnight Gallery, Tim Walker and production from Yorel, Janine And The Mixtape, Regal Drums, CP beats and ANKA.
The history of Ashley Hughes as an artist is rich and varied. He appeared on the music scene as a young feisty ‘battle MC’’. He then began his recording career with the underground label Breakin Wreakwordz before joining urban stalwarts Move The Crowd (MTC) where he has remained since, releasing a double album Ages Turn, numerous mix tapes, along with many collaborations under his name Ethical.
His career then took a turn when he ‘experimented’ with some of his label mates to form Kidz In Space – an electro/pop/urban act that released two albums, and had a Gold selling single with Downtime. International and critical acclaim followed, a couple of the highlights were Downtime featuring in the video game NBA 2k11, and a trip to CMJ in New York.
