Salt Ashes Unveils Heartfelt Tribute with “10 + 2”
Salt Ashes, the London-based electro-pop sensation known for her dark synth soundscapes and emotionally charged lyrics, takes a deeply personal turn with her latest single, “10 + 2.” Through Radikal Records, the song is an intimate, stripped-back reflection on love, loss, and longing, written in tribute to her late father.
Known for crafting pulsating electronic anthems, Salt Ashes embraces raw vulnerability in “10 + 2.” With only an acoustic guitar, delicate strings, and her hauntingly expressive voice, she steps away from her usual high-energy production to deliver a song that feels like a private conversation, an open wound, a whispered memory.
The finger-picked guitar melody moves like time itself, gentle, inevitable, and filled with aching persistence while her voice carries the weight of every unsaid goodbye. As the song builds, strings swell, echoing the quiet devastation of grief. When the final note fades, it leaves behind a silence that says everything words cannot.
The official music video, edited by Salt Ashes herself, is a montage of home video footage of moments frozen in time, memories too precious to forget. Grainy clips of childhood, laughter, and fleeting gestures tell a story of love that transcends loss. It’s more than a tribute to her father; it’s a song for anyone who has ever wished for just one more moment with someone they’ve lost.
Despite facing an unexplained vocal condition for the past 15 months, Salt Ashes continues to create and perform, refusing to let uncertainty define her. “10 + 2” showcases her resilience, artistry, and deeply personal storytelling, proving that even in the face of adversity, music remains her most powerful outlet.
Since her debut, Salt Ashes has built an impressive career, gaining recognition from The Guardian, Attitude Magazine, Wonderland, DIY, and Buzzfeed. Her 2021 album, Killing My Mind, reached the Top 10 on the iTunes Pop Album Chart, with tracks like Didn’t See It Coming earning over half a million views and a spot on Elton John’s Rocket Hour Show.
Her electrifying stage presence has led her to tour with acts like Goldfrapp, Alphabeat, and Little Boots, solidifying her reputation as a fearless performer and innovative artist.
“10 + 2” is Salt Ashes at her most raw and real, a song that lingers long after the last note. It’s a testament to love, to grief, and to the beauty of music’s ability to keep memories alive.
