Jenny Maybee’s “Eat the Ash” is a powerful and striking single that immediately pulls you in with its dark, pulsing energy. The song moves at a strong 134 beats per minute, combining clean, sharp production with a raw intensity that never feels overdone. Minimalist organ sounds create a haunting atmosphere, while the synths pulse beneath the surface, adding tension without overwhelming the space. The bass cuts through sharply, giving the track an edge that feels electric. What stands out most is how every sound feels carefully chosen and perfectly placed—there’s no clutter here, just a focused, dangerous energy that holds you tight from start to finish.
What really makes “Eat the Ash” special is Jenny’s vocal delivery and the emotional depth behind it. Her voice moves effortlessly between intimate softness and fierce power, telling a story of burning away old beliefs and facing what remains with total surrender and strength. The lyrics feel personal and intense, like a quiet but unstoppable force. In the final moments, the music falls away entirely, leaving only her raw a cappella cry, “Ride the veins of your desire”, hanging in the air. It’s a moment that stays with you—a vulnerable but bold statement that ties the whole song together and leaves a lasting impression.
The song also shows off Jenny’s unique blend of influences, pulling inspiration from artists like Massive Attack, Sevdaliza, and Nine Inch Nails, but making it entirely her own. The inclusion of subtle gamelan-inspired chimes adds a shimmering layer that contrasts beautifully with the dark tones, while strings are used more like percussion, giving the track an almost cinematic punch. Recorded at The Mad Scientist Studios, “Eat the Ash” feels both intimate and expansive, making it perfect for listeners who crave music that’s not just heard but truly felt. Jenny Maybee’s refusal to follow any one genre gives this single a fresh and commanding presence that’s impossible to ignore.
