Jesstai Reya's "Ashes" is a captivating exploration of sound and silence, set to release on May 20, 2025, under CalmSphere Records. This 15-track album spans 56 minutes of introspective and atmospheric compositions, each track named with a poetic and evocative title that hints at the themes within. From the haunting "Voice in the Smoke" to the reflective "Whispers Left in Smoke," Reya weaves a tapestry of sounds that are as much about the spaces between notes as they are about the music itself.
Collaborating with Ankaeh Tura, Reya delves into a blend of ambient and experimental genres, creating a sonic landscape that is both intimate and expansive. "Ashes" is not just an album; it's an experience that invites the listener to contemplate the ephemeral nature of life and the enduring power of memory. Each track, from the ethereal "Breath of Charcoal Sky" to the grounding "Earth Marks the Pulse," offers a unique perspective on the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. This album is a testament to Jesstai Reya's artistic vision and her ability to craft music that resonates deeply with those who seek solace and inspiration in the subtle nuances of sound.
