Salt Ashes - Raided

“How about a new single tomorrow?” rising dark-disco pop singer Salt Ashes asked on her Facebook on Monday. It’s just as well Veiga Sanchez (for she is Salt Ashes) is a pop singer not a piece of public transport, because there would have been a hell of a lot of complaints when ‘tomorrow’ turned out to be 3 days later than expected. Thankfully in the world of pop, most of us are pretty patient sorts and won’t be tweeting angrily that Salt Ashes has ruined our day / plans by being late. In fact, quite the opposite; pop music, like sex, is often as much about anticipation as the actuality.

Thankfully though we’re not left waiting on the musical platform any longer as Raided is here. It finds Salt Ashes very much ‘in da club’ but still very much with a tune over the top. This one’s very deep, the electronic pulses sounding as if they’ve emanated from some Friday night House basement, contrasting nicely with Viega’s sensually airy vocal. The musical equivalent of tight fitting black leather studded with jewels. It might just turn your hips to liquid.
