London-based Zimbabwean singer-songwriter Ashleigh Bankx is back with a new single, “Miss You,” an anthemic track that is profoundly personal, the song is also one that anyone has dealt with when trying to contend with feeling lonely. The music combines the UK’s signature sound with an irresistible Afro-dancehall beat, resulting in a journey that is as moving as it is lyrically capturing.
From the moment the beat drops, “Miss You” drops you into Bankx’s emotional cyclone, a universe where nostalgia, heartbreak, and resilience are at war. Her voice has an unmistakable rawness as she sings, with candor, about wanting to be near someone who once brought warmth to her life. The words throb with desire, but the rhythm also wants to make you dance. That tug-of-war between sorrow and groove makes “Miss You” work so well.
Ashleigh Bankx sings about love and writes about it in ways that get to the soul. In a world that all too often demands emotional fortitude, “Miss You” is a testament to the notion that vulnerability is not a sign of weakness, but of strength. The song’s throbbing beat pulls the listener in, providing an emotional release and an irresistible itch to dance.
For those who have ever missed someone who used to mean the world to you. It’s a meditation on the universal experience of lost love, held memories, and the human search for understanding. If “Miss You” is any indication, Ashleigh Bankx is on her way to establishing her unique space in the music scene, even if she continues to expect a fair level of emotional depth in their pop melodies.
