What you get when you combine Norah Jones’ melancholy, AURORA’s daydreaming and add a hint of Amy Winehouse power to the mix? Asta Gaustad a.k.a. ASTAA @astaastaa knows the answer!
In her latest single, “Collusion”, the 20-years-old Danish artist takes a dive into a musical world where soulful pop meet electronic, with a hint of blues roots, and boldly explores it.
ASTAA’s charm is locked in her slightly scratchy, yet immensely melodic vocals. She sings in “Collusion” as if she was whispering, having an intimate late night conversation, in a bar taken our of an old movie.
“I raise the question what would happen if I leave everything behind and start a new life somewhere else. It takes all the restless energy and lets my fantasy run loose. Collusion is a song for those who feel that boredom seems all-consuming rather than healthy”, says ASTAA about the single.
ASTAA is definitely an artist worth following and getting familiar with.
