Produced by Daoud Anthony @daoudmakesmusic 
Written by ASTU
Recorded at ASTU's home studio
Mixed/Mastered by Gabriel Masterson at 25th St Recording

ASTU, Eritrean R&B/soul singer-songwriter out of Oakland, CA, discusses sex, love and all the complications that follow in her premiere EP-Patterns. Honest, raw lyrics are lifted by synth-filled rhythms and soulful melodies. ASTU captures the modern romance in all its vulnerability and volatility. “‘Patterns’ is my attempt to dissect the stories my generation repeats and the lens we view love through, in hopes to break the hollow patterns that hold us back from it.” Written by ASTU and produced by Daoud Anthony, who is known for his current work with up and coming Chicago-rapper SABA, Patterns is promising to  be one of the most anticipated releases of 2018.

So Good (interlude)

Lurk my likes and playlists for a vibe ;P 
Soon to be blessed ears are welcomed here ..
Feel free to check out my artwork below!!

Je suis désolé de ne pouvoir vous suivre tous mes abonnés, soundcloud me dit que je ne peux suivre personne pour l'instant, dès que je le pourrais je vous suivrais.

I'm sorry I can not follow you all my subscribers, soundcloud tells me that I can not follow anybody for now, as soon as I can I'll follow you.

Me desculpe, eu não posso seguir todos os meus assinantes, soundcloud me diz que não posso seguir ninguém por enquanto, assim que eu puder eu vou segui-lo.

If Frank Ocean and Sade had a baby, ASTU would be it. Part retro soul, part nineties R&B pastiche, part New Wave-inspired synth-pop, ASTU’s music refuses to pledge allegiance to a single vibe. The vocalist, songwriter and producer has the ability to find an easy, irresistible groove and turn it into an unhurried banger. A Black, queer and gender expansive artist, ASTU left life as a minister and found themself in R&B, expressing their sexuality, identity and life experience in their music. 

Variance Magazine describes their sound as "...kin to some of Solange’s recent material with the whispering confidence of Kelela..." while Himmat Media raves, "...their unapologetic queerness..transcends the conventional, offering a safe haven where listeners are free to explore their own identities."
