Let The Light In

Let The Light In is the fourth studio album by American singer-songwriter Ashley! released through Fusion Records on October 20th, 2014. The album is viewed as a progression from her previous album, Silver Lining (2013), whilst keeping the same positive outlook. The record is mainly pop, with other influences such as rock and power ballads. Using a number of past collaborators, the singer also worked with new producers to help develop on the sound of her previous records. The majority of Let The Light In revolves around themes of positivity, love, light and self-empowerment.

Upon release, the album gained overwhelming positive reviews, with critics praising the overall collection's positivity and unity, commenting on Ashley's ability to 'slot tracks together to give the happiest listening experience possible'. Many commented on the fun, yet matured lyrics and production of the album as a whole. Some slightly mixed reviews suggested that the album was too similar to her previous efforts, which Ashley brushed off in refusing to fix 'a record that wasn't broken'.

Ashley collaborated with three artists on the record; Syd Wolfe, Violetta Dinozzio and Regina Harper.

The release of the album was proceeded with Glitter, which featured Ashley's boss and friend Syd Wolfe, which was released on the same date as the album, as the album's lead single. Prior to the album and singles release, Ashley released two promotional singles, Rainbow and In This Moment, as well as Atmosphere as a free download in partnership with Starbucks and iTunes, which acted as a b-side for her collaboration with Eoin O'Neill, Atmosphere. Rainbow was voted with an overwhelming majority to be released as the first promotional single on September 22nd, with In This Moment following on October 6th.
