EP Review: Ashley Riley 'Can't Let You Go'

-Tara

Illinois native Ashley Riley returns with Can't Let You Go, a self-penned EP which contains seven tracks that while unable to find a home on her other recordings, fit together in perfect harmony here. Riley’s smokey whisper delivers a heartfelt, ambient collection that begins with the gentle, yet revelatory “Lonely” and continues with the honest emotion of the title track through to the despondency of “Tell Me Why.” Whether dreamlike (the retro “Lovers”), delicate (“Leaving Nashville”), or jaunty (“Wait A Minute”), Riley puts forth relatable songs about the human heart that grab your attention. She’s a distinctive female voice who needs to be on your musical radar. For more information visit HERE.
