about

Christchurch pop star ASHY shares her new single ‘Mirror’.

Enlisting the slick rhymes of fellow Christchurch artist Vallé, ‘Mirror’ is effortlessly cool. Foot tapping bass transforms the song into a feverish groove, laying a platform for ASHY’s poise vocals to narrate her experiences of representation in mainstream media.

lyrics

Intro:

Bass like this you better dance my friend, huh
Bass like this you better dance my friend, ok
Bass like this you better dance my friend, huh
Bass like this you better dance my friend, ok

Verse 1:

7 years old watching TV
Waiting for a face just like me
Then you walked on the screen
Everything I could be was in front of me
Swaggered on set like you owned it
Stacking those checks and you know it I bought it cos you sold it

Pre Chorus:

In glossy magazines
On LA silver screens
Milan fashion week
In glossy magazines
On LA silver screens
Milan fashion week
Nobody like me

Chorus:

I see my reflection
Getting that attention
Causing a reaction
You hold up your mirror
Now I don’t disappear
I see myself clearer
Nobody like me

Verse 2:

22 now on your TV
Getting this far wasn't easy It took grace in my pace
To get to this place
Swagger on set like I own it
Stacking those checks and I know it
You bought it cos I sold it

Pre Chorus:

In glossy magazines
On LA silver screens
Milan fashion week
In glossy magazines
On LA silver screens
Milan fashion week Nobody like me

Chorus:

You see my reflection
Getting that attention
Causing a reaction
I hold up the mirror
So you don’t disappear
You see yourself clearer
Nobody like you

Bridge (Vallé):

Forget the clothes baby boy we don't dance like that
Adorned by the land I knew dior was wack
It never suited me anyway, fuck what them people say
Tryna blur my image with a product where they get paid
How could I buy that shit?
Fuck a gucci chain they told me try that shit
Kina shell mamma help mi no warri lo wealth this a pursuit of self
I wish that they could tell

Pre Chorus:

In glossy magazines
On LA silver screens
Milan fashion week
In glossy magazines
On LA silver screens
Milan fashion week
Nobody like me

Chorus:

You see my reflection
Getting that attention
Causing a reaction
I hold up the mirror
So you don’t disappear
You see yourself clearer
Nobody like you
