On her debut album INSULA, Montreal singer-songwriter and producer Virginie B delivers a sparkling pop with neo-soul, R&B, and soft psych accents. The record's title is inspired by the insula cortex, a region of the brain that plays a major role in the awareness of emotions and sensations (joy, sadness, disgust, pride, desire); in other words, human experience. Virginie B appeared on @ashestoashescjlo to talk about the album, Freud, and psychedelic voyages.

Recorded in 2019 and throughout the 2020 global pandemic, Extreme is the latest album by Berlin-based Swedish pop artist Molly Nilsson, released on @dsa-music / @nightschool. Her tenth album, Extreme is also Nilsson's biggest, boldest, and most vital record to date. It's an album about power. Against the love of power and for the power of love. Nilsson appeared on @ashestoashescjlo to talk about Extreme, being an optimist, and "Molly propaganda."

Echoing the last three years of the life of Vincent Roberge (aka Les Louanges), a pivotal period marked by the acclaim of his first album La nuit est une panthère (2018), his new album Crash is a recollection of harsh but necessary observations about love, friendships, success, and all the loss of emotional control that follows. It's both the dream that turns into a nightmare and the yielding once the horizon clears. Roberge appeared on @ashestoashescjlo to talk about his sophomore record, avoiding ego in his lyrics, and feeling more comfortable in front of thousands of concertgoers than at a house party.
