notes

"Sugar and Gasoline" is the impressive new CD by acclaimed indie artist Roy Ashen. The disc features a wide range of sounds and emotions, delivered with Ashen's passionate vocals, introspective lyrics and blazing guitars.

Ashen's sound has been described as "David Bowie meets Lenny Kravitz" by the Hollywood Reporter.

"Roy Ashen is a remarkably talented individual. He has the sound and vision to bust out of the pack of independent releases....Totally cool, Burning Hot and truly Fresh!"
- John Easdale (Dramarama/Album Network)

"A total package of Voice, Musicianship and Songwriting!" - CMJ

And from Foundry, "Ashen is back with Sugar and Gasoline, a disc so full of hooks, tight arrangements and terrific performances, it makes me wonder just how long before he is snatched up by a major label. Ashen builds his songs in a way that can only be compared, albeit loosely to that of Bowie, Kravitz, Mayfield, Hendrix, and Sly. Melding a strong sense of soul, with a funky looseness, songs such as 'I Miss You' (which should make him a superstar!), are delivered with such distinction, that rarely have I heard an artist with such a clear, and well-defined sound all their own."

  • My favorite new CD!
    author: Matthew

    The thing I love most is that way Roy has created a fresh and modern sound but you can feel bits of influence from Prince or The Beatles, or Jeff Buckley. I'm very impressed with this CD and can't wait to see him in concert in NYC.

    Roy has come to the front with this CD.. I think his music is for all ages. His songs and his performing energy hooks you through the music. When you listen to his songs you want to get up and move...good sound track on Sugar and Gasoline...well done Roy. Love it.

  • My new favorite CD!

    Some of the best lyrics I've read in a long time and an incedible voice. I love the songs!!! My faorite is 'Gasoline" -

  • Bravo!!
    author: Sharon A

    Excellent job once again! What a fantastic CD filled with funky, rockin' music - thoughtful, provocative lyrics and a smooth, sensual voice all his own. We can compare Roy's sound to a dozen other artists, but you have to hear him for yourself to truly appreciate the gift of his talent. If you're looking for individual... fresh... unique... you've found him.

  • Amazing CD by a unique artist! It rocks!

    If you like artists that write intense lyrics and memorable melodies - I highly reccomend this CD. I think fans of U2, Dashboard Confessional, Bowie, and maybe Kravitz would all like these songs. Great voice...
