Jasmine Ash penned her new single “Same Sun” long before the COVID-19 crisis sent lives into a tailspin. “I knew there was something special about it, but for some reason my gut said to wait to release it,” she writes of the bright pop song, co-written with Rich Jacques and Daniel Pashman. “I didn’t really know why, I just kept putting it off. And then the pandemic happened, and I realized now was the time to get it out.”

The tune’s message of we’re-all-in-this-together — or trying to be, anyway — plays out in the video, which is the work of Ash’s filmmaker husband Brendan Walter. Along with their face-masked dog Louis, they hopped in the car and drove around L.A. to film people who are sheltering in place. From a safe distance, they connect. “I hope this puts a smile on your face and some hope in your heart,” Ash says.

“Same Sun” is the second new single of 2020 from Ash, who is also a member of the indie-pop group Oh Darling (who have also released a couple of new singles, their first since 2016).
