With her latest, “Intoxicated,” Ashia Ackov has transformed velvet into soundwaves. This sultry R&B ballad oozes nostalgia, elegance, and quiet storm seduction. With this track, she creates an environment that is more than simply a song and invites you inside, where everything seems to be an experience.
Drawing inspiration from the time-tested recordings of her mother’s records, Ackov would not only sample the past, she’d reinvent it. This song is a slowed-down exhale of class in a music landscape where the race for fast hits and digital loudness seems never-ending. It veers into stepper jam territory on a mellow rhythm that seeps beneath your skin, suitable for a slow dance on a date night or the background music for a cuddly Valentine’s Day night.
Ackov’s voice is the star of this small performance. It is fragile and authoritative, broad and precise. She sings like a songbird sitting on top of a piano, its notes bearing the weight of emotion. You can practically make her in a silk dress, under the spotlight, singing to a room of lovers and dreamers. And this is glam romance glittering with sophistication. While everyone else samples old-school classics, Ashia goes deeper. It’s a way of scooping up the golden-oldie spirit of the classics and refurbishing it with contemporary gloss and personal artistry. It’s music conceived not simply for your ears but for your senses.
Ackov knows her lane, and she’s riding smoothly into lovers’ hearts of smooth grooves and rich storytelling with “Intoxicated.” Through this release, Ashia Ackov shows that glamour, soul, and a hint of vintage can never go out of fashion. ‘Intoxicated’ is a feeling and it stretches well beyond time.
