New Jersey-based singer-songwriter Nia Ashleigh has just released her new single, “Ohio Man.”
The song is a retrospective piece in which Nia Ashleigh looks back at her first love with a newfound clarity. She found herself heartbroken at the end of the relationship and sometimes swarmed with negativity about it, since it was her first. As time went on, Nia realized that the relationship had shaped her understanding of love, as it pushed her to raise her standards and showed her how love should feel. At its core, “Ohio Man” is about appreciating the role that someone has played in your life, even if they are only meant to be there for a season.
Sonically, “Ohio Man” is contemporary with musical theatre sensibilities. Nia’s mesmerizing vocals carry the beautifully cathartic track and tug at the hearts of the audience, who may find themselves in a period of reflection as the track plays through.
Nia Ashleigh hails from Newark, New Jersey, and has gained her popularity from posting covers on social media. She has amassed over 1 million followers across platforms like Instagram and TikTok thanks to her musical versatility and emotivity.
