Ashe released her third studio album "Willson" on Sept. 6, 2024, after taking a break when she canceled the second leg of her Fun While It Lasted tour in 2023.

Ashe is back to reclaim her genre-fusing sound and reassert her artistry in ‘Willson’

By Georgie Gassaro, Life and Culture Editor September 9, 2024
Ashlyn Rae Willson, better known as Ashe, is no stranger to redefining her own name. With her new album, “Willson,” she is now setting a new precedent for what her name stands for. “Willson,” released Sept. 6, is both Ashe’s third studio album and the third piece of her self-titled series. This album is her first independently-released album because her first two albums –– evidentially titled “Ashlyn” and “Rae” –– were created under a record label, whereas “Willson” is completely owned by Ashe. This self-ownership serves as a metaphor of independence because “Willson” marks Ashe’s resurgence into the music industry, the reconciliation of her wounded past and the start of her self-rediscovery.
