Admits to being ‘allergic’ to romantic love
Singer-songwriter Cool Cat Ash takes on a journey of seeking and understanding love in her new album "i find love. so. so. weird.”
The album includes 11 tracks which are all written and produced by Cool Cat Ash who is also known as Ashley Aunor. After dabbling in the genres of novelty and rock, she now steps into the world of pop leaning into a more chill and lo-fi vibe.
“Hindi ko in-expect na ilalabas ko itong songs in the first place. Star Music encouraged me to write more upbeat and pop songs because they believed in me, so I’m very happy that they supported me in that way,” said Cool Cat Ash on exploring a new genre.
In the key track “i find love. so. so. weird,” Cool Cat Ash details the vulnerability of love and how it can be scary to fall for someone.
“It’s all about me finding love so weird kasi medyo allergic ako sa romantic love. I feel like I’m too scared to fall deeply in love and I’m scared of being vulnerable and intimate with anyone. For this, na-feel ko yung peer pressure mula sa mga taong nahanap na yung taong mahal nila,” she explained during her album launch held last Wednesday (Oct. 25).
Cool Cat Ash began her musical journey at a very young age. She released her first album "Gusto Kong Kumanta" which was written by late composer Alex Catedrilla. However, she had to put her career on pause to focus on her studies. Now, she is taking a degree in music production at Berklee College of Music Boston while also working as a songwriter, producer, sound engineer, and DJ.
She was hailed as Rock Artist of the Year at the PMPC Star Awards 2022 and Novelty Artist of the Year last 2021 while her song "Mataba" won Novelty Song of the Year. She is also a part of the songwriting and production duo "Aunorable Productions" with her sister and fellow singer Marion Aunor.
As a recording artist, she has released several singles including “Changes,” “Best Friend,” and “Gone Too Soon.”
