Ashley Cooke Readies ‘ace,’ Due In November

/by

Ashley Cooke is set to release her next project, ace, on Nov. 14 via Big Loud Records.

The nine-track project, named for Cooke’s childhood nickname given by her father, marks her first project since her 2023 debut, Shot In The Dark. 

Produced by Dann Huff, Cooke co-penned seven of the nine tracks alongside Emily Weisband, Johnny Clawson and Kyle Sturrock, among others. The project explores themes love, heartbreak and loss.

“It’s been about two and a half years since my debut record was released. So many incredible, bucket-list things filled the days after with the best people I could ever imagine getting to share them with,” Cooke shared during the announcement on her social media. “But life has a funny way of spitting rain when you think it’s gonna be a sunny day. I swear, one thing hit after another. I lost some of the most important people in my life, and health issues in my family piled up left and right. Love came, and love went. This music is derived from those real situations. It’s brutal honesty. It’s a story in chronological order. And it’s a collection of songs welcoming you to the next chapter.”
