Tom Ashbrook – Solitude III (Spotify)

The first track off a brand new EP, ​Solitude III c​ounters the darker haunting sounds of his previous EP, showcasing a lighter side to his breathtaking ambient compositions.

Classically trained on piano from the age of 5, ​Tom Ashbrook ​grew up with an obsession with the emotion and songwriting mystique in film soundtracks. He took these techniques into his own songwriting and later, developed a love for synthesis and contemporary music production, the combination of which, has now formed the basis of his stunning and eclectic catalogue.

Tom’s w​ork has built him a following worldwide as well as critical acclaim. His music has found appreciation through Spotify and Apple Music’s playlist system, where he’s clocked over ​7 Million Streams ​since launching with his debut EP in 2019. His tracks have landed on some of the genre’s biggest playlists including ​Atmospheric Piano, Not Quite Classical, Piano Chill ​and Pure Focus. ​A lover of all aspects of production and collaboration, he’s also worked alongside rising South-African songwriter ​Julia Church o​ n their incredible alt-electronic single ‘Souvenir’.

The new single shows ​Ashbrook a​t his best, drawing complex emotion from subtle piano melodies. Speaking on the new single, he states:

“Solitude III is about change. When things change suddenly, and with no notice , like a tragedy, the weather, the end of a relationship. In those times, we have to find an inner peace that restores us when the wind blows us off course.”
