Ashley Wilson States the Truth Of Love in "Once In Awhile"

​There is something wonderful when a song is a story, telling us all the things that can’t be said with normal words. When a songwriter can tell us the truth of what's in her heart and soul, that things can suck or things can be blissful, all packaged up with soaring vocals and witty lyrics, that’s talent.
 
San Francisco songwriter Ashley Wilson wraps her stories in a modern jazz/pop/folk hybrid with her smooth and buoyant voice telling it like it is. In her latest single, “Once In Awhile”, off of her latest album, “Paint The Sky”, we hear all about Ashley’s relationship ups and downs in a playful manner, “And then we’ll have this back and forth duel, when sometimes the bed is hot then cool. And just as were are splitting in two, we’ll come together back again as one…” She sings with an amazing vocal range; high notes, low notes and everything in between.  With the simplicity of stand up bass, drums and guitar, supporting her, Ashley sings it true. There is no need for chaos, madness or anger in her words to her lover in her song, only the reality that love is hard, relationships take a lot of work and no one can escape that process if you really want to be in love.
