Ashia Ackov's newest release, "Blame it on Me," is a sultry tribute to love, longing, and the golden vibe of Latin Jazz. You are enveloped in the warm embrace of a sound that could be pulled from a smoky Parisian jazz club, candles, wine, and a mild swirl across the dance floor, all included.
Ackov's tribute to the criminally underrated 90s icon Basia's transformation of her timeless mix of sophistication and rhythm into a beautifully personal piece here. But "Blame it on Me" is a love letter. Written for her husband of nearly 20 years, the song beats with the emotion that only time and shared life can mold. But there's no sense of the weight of ages here, only the lightness of falling in love repeatedly.
The production wafts over you like a silk scarf on a summer breeze and is incredibly evocative of another time and place. But the spirit of the music, Ackov's earnest wish that you find joy, escape, and connection, gives this song its glow. In a whirling world, "Blame it on Me" is a slow dance worth your time. Romantic, opulent, and undeniably tender, Ashia Ahkco lets us listen to her love affair and feel ours.
