Already making a name for herself with a wistful and downright impressive debut single, Alisa Ruby Bash has won our hearts over with “Escape My Mind”. Do yourselves a favor and enjoy our review below, in addition to a much needed background on the emerging artist.

Alisa Ruby Bash’s debut solo single, “Escape My Mind,” is a hauntingly beautiful blend of vibrant sounds and edgy lyrics that showcases her impressive range as a singer, songwriter, and sound healer. Bash, who was raised in a musical family and was the lead singer for the band Violet Love Star, has created a captivating new project that is a combination of New Age, Ambient, and old school Reggae and Dub vibes. It’s a perfect re-emergence into the world of music, and of course, we’re urging everyone out there to take a moment and listen.

The song “Escape My Mind” essentially captures the duality of light and darkness that is so often present in Bash’s music, says Alisa herself. The opening notes are delicate and almost otherworldly, setting the stage for Bash’s angelic voice to float over the top. As the song progresses, the simplistic beat and restrained instrumental sounds add a depth and richness to the overall style, creating an almost hypnotic effect that draws the listener in.

Lyrically, “Escape My Mind” speaks to the challenges that many of us have faced during the pandemic, particularly the isolation and the sense of facing our biggest fears alone. Bash’s lyrics are honest and vulnerable, and they expertly capture the mood of the times. We’ve all been there in one sense or another, so it’s nice to sort of have this little time capsule of a track to listen to and reflect on.

Overall, “Escape My Mind” is a stunning debut single from Alisa Ruby Bash, and it leaves us eagerly anticipating her upcoming self-titled solo album. Her impressive range as a singer and songwriter is on full display in this beautiful song, and we can’t wait to hear what she has in store for us next. We’ve got a feeling she’s going to mix it up on future releases, so please, check out all of those important links below in order to get listening, following along, and of course to stay tuned for a ton more info.
