Hailing from Toronto, songstress Asha Pieper is a breath of fresh air. Her new single, “Voices,” makes her standout as an artist to watch as we head into the new year. Her sultry jazz-esque vocals delight as she brings a deep tonality into the piece. The melodic track is rich and memorable as she speaks of issues facing women of the world today.

Pieper shares of the track:

“There was a period of time, that many of the relationships I held as secure and sacred, exploded. It took me a long time to realize, and to accept, that the world is heedy, and complex, and even if it doesn’t end with a happy ending, at least it’s over. And that can be something good.”
