West Hollywood, CA – The Abbey (The Hollywood Times) 8/8/2024
It felt like it was going to be a good night before I even left my house. The Hollywood Times was invited for the release party of rising pop recording artist Ashlee Keating’s new single “Thirsty” at The Abbey in West Hollywood.
As soon as I arrived, I could feel the good vibes. The Abbey in West Hollywood was popping. You could hear the DJ (The Perry Twins) playing all the hits from the 90’s to 2024. The theme was pink and of course I had to wear pink as well, to match the beautiful custom “Ashlee Keating” pink carpet. I have to say the carpet was glowing! If you follow astrology like me, it was the lions gate portal that evening. Meaning on 8/8/2024 when the Spiritual Sun Sirius, Earthy Sun, Orion’s belt and Earth are in perfect alignment. This sends massive amounts of spiritual light to earth and it is the best time to manifest and utilize attracting divine energy. As soon as talent started to arrive to support Ashlee, they were all glowing and radiant – it was amazing because as an artist it’s so hard to reach such Euphoria for premiers for all projects and venues. It was truly magical.
As the pink carpet was popping with various talent, The Hollywood Times got some interviews from actor Brandon Delsid, Fashion Designer Adolfo Sanchez, Digital Creator Ryan Lu, Digital creator Cassandra Bankson, Reality Star & Influencer Renee Ash, Digital creator Elina Yael and the star of the night Ashlee Keating. I have to say they all looked beautiful on the pink carpet.
“Thirsty” is an anthem of self-empowerment, truth vs. reality when it comes to attraction (what’s perceived on social media never tells the true, whole story about someone’s core), and feeling confident in your own skin. The song represents staying true to yourself and not letting Thirsty people get in the way of that, The eagerness for my attention and affection does not come easily – you’ve got work for that! If I post a thirst trap photo on social media, and you become Thirsty, there’s no guarantee you will be crush or “special” someone. It’s important to be intentional with how you present yourself and go about situations. People are complex and Thirsty is an example of self-love and acceptance, not giving into the “thirst” culture and never accepting less than what you deserve! – Ashlee Keating
After a busy past year, Ashlee most recently released her newest single “Thirsty” on July 5, 2024, with a steamy music video which premiered on August 9, 2024 (listening links below)! “Thirsty” is a fun, flirty self-empowerment pop anthem with a rhythmic sound. “Thirsty” encourages listeners to not get caught up in the crazy world of Social Media images and “thirst culture”, all while living young, wild, fearless and free. The single has already had major success with 100K Spotify streams in a month since the release.
In support of Women’s History Month in March, Ashlee released weekly covers of iconic female songs on her Instagram (watch her cover of Mariah Carey’s “Fantasy” and her cover of Christina Aguilera’s “Beautiful”. Ashlee appeared as one of the main performers at the Atlanta Pride iHeart Power 96.1 Concert at the end of 2023! Her holiday single “In The Air” premiered on November 3rd, 2023, just in time for the holidays! Her hit Pop single “Saucy” has replayed on 102.7 KIISFM Radio + other syndicated iHeart radio stations. Not stopping there, Ashlee led a dance master class in LA to her single “Saucy”!
In 2022, Ashlee Keating released pop/dance remake of the classic holiday-single “Santa Claus Is Coming To Town” on November 18th. She paired the single with a bright and cheery music video to go along with it. This release follows Ashlee’s latest hit pop single “SAUCY”, which quickly became an anthem for both female empowerment and the LGBTQ+ community during Pride Month. The fierce song represents feeling confident and loving the skin you’re in.
As Ashlee arrived, she was radiant. Her style was universal glam. What I was most impressed was with Ashlee’s attitude and personality. She greeted all her guests with such appreciation and you felt so comfortable with her presence. She is both beautiful from the inside and out. I had so much fun and was very inspired. I am “Only Josie Knows” and I have to admit I am #Thirsty sometimes, are you?
