Ashlyn Uribe Strikes An Emotional Chord In "heat lightning"



Charlotte-based indie pop artist Ashlyn Uribe lights up the scene with her powerful single, "heat lightning," from her recent EP, string of pearls.


Uribe's music is a mix of bedroom pop, indie ballads, and folk-inspired tunes that speak to the soul. She writes about her own experiences, covering topics like love, loss, and finding yourself amid life's ups and downs. Her songs have a raw honesty that fans can easily connect with, inspired by acts like Ariana Grande, Chappell Roan, and Lizzy McAlpine.


In "heat lightning," Uribe opens up about feeling stuck and lost. The song talks about how life can feel like taking one step forward but four steps back. While reflecting on her own struggles with direct yet witty lyrics, she paints vivid pictures about finding yourself that anyone can relate to.


Diving deeper into "heat lightning," the track starts softly to show Uribe's impressive vocal range alongside gentle, stunning piano melodies. Just seconds into this track, and her lyrical content is wildly impressive. She sings about feeling far from who she used to be, only catching glimpses of herself like flashes of heat lightning. It's a perfect way to describe those moments when life feels out of control.


The bridge of the song is where Uribe really shines. Her powerful vocals express years of built-up emotions, making listeners feel every word. The song then smoothly transitions to a calming outro, leaving you with a cathartic sense of release. It's like going through a storm and coming out stronger on the other side.


Experience the emotional journey of Ashlyn Uribe's impactful single, "heat lightning," now available on all digital streaming platforms.



Welcome back to Buzz, Ashlyn! We're blown away by your emotional release, "heat lightning." What inspired you to write about life's struggles and feeling lost?


Thank you, I'm so happy to be back! This song is wholly and entirely about navigating emotional dysregulation and how it can affect your perception of yourself. My experience with feeling overcome by depression, anxiety, and especially complex PTSD is the driving force behind this track and its honesty. It's scary being so volatile emotionally that you feel as if the only clarity you can grasp onto what comes through brief and elusive windows of light, and that's where the metaphor for the title was born.


Your vocals on the bridge of "heat lightning" are wildly impressive. What do you think the bridge adds to the overall listening experience?


I wrote this bridge's melody line with the imagery of those notes soaring in my head, not realizing how truly difficult it would be to tackle them (both in the studio and live), so thank you, lol. Truthfully, I was very much inspired by Renee Rapp's song structure on "snow angel." I wanted an emotionally driven climax to break up the raw but soothing nature of the ballad; I wanted a power ballad, and I think the bridge ultimately takes it there. This part of the song, being where it is, also intentionally mimics the spiraling feeling of losing control.


"heat lightning" is part of your recent EP, string of pearls. How does this song fit in with the other tracks on the project?


Sometimes, I'm asked what my favorite song is on the EP, and while I don't have an indefinite answer, "heat lightning" is the easy answer. It's special because it adds dimension to both the genre influences and lyricism of the project. It's also placed in the middle of the tracklist for a reason "sylvia", "peter rabbit" and "idlewild interlude" are nostalgic and reflective of my childhood. "heat lightning" is the marker of where the storytelling shifts to present day me and begins to tackle how my childhood affects me as an adult. I think it's both disruptive and cohesive, even though that's oxymoronic.


Would you say that "heat lightning" is one of the more personal songs you've written? Was it challenging to be so vulnerable in the process?


Absolutely, it is. Aside from writing "sylvia", which catapulted me into a new stage of vulnerability, freeing me to be able to create the project, "heat lightning" was one of the rawest. The reason it is so personal is because it lays all of my cards out on the table and says, "Hey, not only did these events happen to me then, but here's how they still mess me up today". It was certainly a very challenging and new way to song-write.


What do you hope fans will feel or think after listening to "heat lightning?"


I hope listening to this song gives people courage above all else. I know my degree of vulnerability isn't for everyone; I'm the girl oversharing in a dive bar just to keep the conversation going, lol. But I think if each person who's experienced any sort of trauma, abuse, or abandonment can find some way to tell their story, even in small or covert ways, so much healing and acceptance will follow. Generational scars can't always be mended, but if there's anything I've learned from writing this EP, you can and will. Unexpectedly, though, some very poignant conversations in my family have happened since this release. And for that, I am refreshed and grateful. Thank you for streaming.
