The power of art can be seen when someone turns a painful moment and uses that pain to create something beautiful. Losing a parent is an unimaginable moment in one's life and speaking about it can't be the easiest. The latest release by artist Salt Ashes, "10 + 2," is a deeply moving and raw exploration of the loss of her father. The song breaks your heart and patches it up as the gentle picking of the guitar dances with Salt Ashes' soothing voice. It's bittersweet to see all these glimpses into Salt Ashes' life as she recalls all these memories she has of her father. "10 + 2" is the perfect love letter, and to see Salt ashes be so bare and honest in her work makes you fall in love with her and her music all over again because we're seeing a whole new side of her.
"10 + 2" takes a completely different turn from Salt Ashes' usual dark electronic style. Instead this song is a stripped back ballad. This style works so well with her singing voice as it allows her to truly show off how talented she is. The acoustic guitar mixed with the strings is always the best combination to see, and it's a combination that leaves you haunted, especially in the chorus. The song feels like flipping through a scrapbook, looking back at certain details of her relationship with her father. While it is a deeply personal song, the track could be of comfort for anyone who has ever experienced the loss of a parent. It's a song that wraps you in a blanket and holds your hand. This new direction Salt Ashes has taken works so well and she truly did shine in a song of this style and it makes you hope she will continue to explore new genres in the future.

The honesty in "10 + 2" can't be easy as the loss of a parent is a pain not everyone can understand but Salt Ashes has done an excellent job in turning her pain into a work of art people will hold on to with so much love.
