Anna Ash possesses a lilting, stirring voice that courses through her songs like a delicate bird. The Michigan native belies the title track of her 2017 EP, Going Down Fast, by singing in a languid tempo, her vocals draped across an austere backing of electric guitar. There are traces of Emmylou Harris' graceful intonations on such reverential country-folk ballads as “Time to Waste.” “Everybody's telling you what a rough day they've had,” Ash murmurs consolingly on the aptly titled “Sweet Voice.” The L.A. singer opens her heart further on her 2016 full-length album, Floodlights, a similarly engaging collection of laid-back pop-country. She rocks out a little on the soulful track “Holding Out,” but most of the record centers on such tranquil interludes as the heartfelt “Let Me Love You.”
