The singer and songwriter of folk music
from Sydney, Australia known as Asher Wolfson has released his latest
single, “Beautiful Girl.” The track has been proudly published on
the Wolfling Records independent music label entirely without
financial support from the corporate music power structure. Natural,
sonorous and accessible to fans of any music genre, “Beautiful
Girl” by Asher Wolfson is the latest example of the power of the
folk tradition that endures around the world today.
Asked to cite a few artistic
influences, Wolfson mentions not a one. But the chief importance of
music in his life is something he's quick to point out. In fact, he
takes it with him everywhere he goes.
“It's always been there,” he
writes. “Some people complain about having a song stuck in their
head – I always have one in there, it's just a matter of which
song.”
While this phenomenon may not be
singular to Wolfson, alone, it's at least more notable in his case
for informing original tracks like “Beautiful Girl.” It's a
plainly heartfelt song, one with warm, acoustic overtones and playful
chord progressions which make a pleasant canvas upon which Asher
Wolfson paints his soft vocal textures.
It's not all about sound, though. Music
by Wolfson is poetic and deliberate, while retaining an intuitive
quality that makes it seem somehow off the cuff.
He writes of the themes of “Beautiful
Girl,” saying, “Today's society has a culture where a guy can't
tell a girl she's beautiful without expecting something in return.
This song is saying that by the time you hear the message of your
being beautiful, I'll already be gone, so you can be sure that the
only reason I'm telling you is because it's true.”
Asher Wolfson cut his musical teeth in
what he calls “a church environment where singing was a weekly
experience.” His (short) official bio describes him as a “gentle
and generous, loud and friendly” young man. It concludes by stating
that Wolfson is “the kind of guy who will strike up a conversation
in an elevator with a complete stranger.”
“Beautiful Girl” by Asher Wolfson
is available online worldwide.
