Distorted and funky dance-pop with a quirky twist of nostalgia and a deeply inspiring true story at its core. Ashleigh Harley takes self-belief and positivity to creative new heights, with the eclectic dance-rock essence and realism of Itsy Bitsy Bikini.
An artist whose story revolves around her surviving a life-threatening illness and severe complications from the genetic condition Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Ashleigh Harley delivers an uplifting alt pop and rock anthem with this single.
Featuring nostalgic riffs, tones, layers and a classic floor-filler groove, Itsy Bitsy Bikini is an original song almost entirely, with a familiar title resounding just to ground things amidst the reference and stereotype the song seeks to counter.
The chorus is exactly as prescribed lyrically, but everything else is a soaring cool soundscape and song, which introduces Ashleigh Harley in a likable and energising way.
“She was told that her body her was broken, but she’d have to just wait and see.”
