Release Date: 17th February 2014
Veiga Sanchez, for she is Salt
Ashes, comes on strong with her debut single 'Somebody', like a sassy 90s
American girl entering a club in a movie after an awesome make over. The sexy
electro melodies are pure La Roux meets Daft Punk and Giorgio Moroder in a dark
alley whilst listening to some Madonna on an iPod. As for Sanchez's voice, it's
in the field of Robyn or Florence Welch in terms of its range from timid to
powerfully funky which gives this tune a great emotional range. Sadly, as
groovy as the tune is, it never quite swells to the fever pitch you'd hope for
if you heard this in a nightclub and wanted to pull your best moves to it. Salt
Ashes has potential but there needs to be a bigger tune to hang the reputation
on than this or she may go the way of Little Boots. Remember her? Exactly.
