After signing to Radikal the label In 2014 released her singles “Somebody” and “If You Let Me Go,” a Top 5 record on both the Billboard and Music Week Dance Charts. She also won the MTVU Freshmen and MTV Iggy’s ‘Artist of the Week’ contests. In 2015, Salt Ashes continued to build on her unique dark synth-pop sound with the single “Raided,” a BBC Introducing and Spotify Fan favorite.

The song has received strong pre-release buzz from the UK’s discovery site ROTD (“now comes this brilliant on-trend banger with one hell of a chorus and everything required to be an instant worldwide smash. Calvin Harris would probably kill for this tune”) as well as US tastemakers Idolator (“Salt Ashes has whipped up a firecracker with her new Single”).

Salt Ashes – Save It (Live BBC Introducing)
I co-wrote the song with Rob Irving (House of Emeralds) within a couple of really chilled sessions, and the first thing we created was the bass-line, which we fell in love with. After that, the lyrics and everything else flew pretty quickly.”. ‘Save It’ reminds you of the likes of Tove Lo, Kylie Minogue Grimes, and Lykke Li and establishes Salt Ashes standing as an artist to watch in the electronic music scene in 2016. ‘Save It’ is available now along with additional remixes, including remixes from Cruelty, Italian Disco Mafia, Giuseppe D., Funky Junction and more.

Salt Ashes – Save It
Salt Ashes – Save It Lyrics:
They told me patience brings in light
But I’ve been without your love
I don’t feel without your love
They said your kiss would poison mine
And it’s nothing I can trust
But my veins won’t ease the flood
Cos I still can’t get enough.
Save it. You don’t have it in your power
To make me black out every flame
I’m bound to you until the end, oh yeah
Save it. You don’t have it in your power
To make me black out every flame.
I’m bound to you until the end, oh yeah.
Tie me with rope and chase the wild.
Take me high and feed the rush
Cos at times I don’t feel much
Voices of old would criticize
Seeing gold turn into rust
Gold turn into rust
When I’ve been without you.
Save it. You don’t have it in your power
To make me black out every flame.
I’m bound to you until the end oh yeah.
Save it. You don’t have it in your power
To make me black out every flame.
I’m bound to you until the end oh yeah.
Why you fighting me? This love won’t leave.
We’re feeding the fire, I feel it in my heart
Don’t you give up on me
Why you fighting me? This love won’t leave.
We’re feeding the fire, I feel it in my heart,
Don’t you give up on me
Save it. You don’t have it in your power
To make me black out every flame.
I’m bound to you until the end oh yeah.
Save it. You don’t have it in your power
To make me black out every flame.
I’m bound to you until the end oh yeah.
