Following the primary installment from late 2017, Ashes (PT. 2) expands from the spectacular introductory vocal showcase with broad strokes through new instrumentation and charged and refined lyricism.

The EP immediately jumps into new territory with the jolting “Church Of The Lonely,” which builds on Cobi’s powerhouse vocals with synth thrives and a searing electrical guitar that weaves itself all through the remainder of the set. Cobi crafts an anthemic protest music on the second observe, “Burnin’ One Down,” earlier than giving a nourishing dose of life-affirming soul on nearer “Rising Phoenix.”
Ashes (PT. 2) arrives on Friday (Sept. 21) through 300 Entertainment.
