Ashton Nyte has just released a haunting rendition of David Bowie’s "Heroes". The single is released ahead of his upcoming book and album, "Waiting For A Voice" which will be available on 20 July 2020. Ashton says that recording Bowie’s iconic song was not something he did lightly. "The original recording is absolutely perfect as is. I am certainly not able to improve on such a masterwork, nor was that my intention. My version is simply an intimate ode to a song and an artist who helped shape my life as I prefer to know it. It is a song of hope, lyrically as vital today as ever," says Ashton.
Now based in the USA, Ashton Nyte is a South African born composer, singer, multi-instrumentalist and producer. He has released 6 solo albums, in addition to 9 albums as The Awakening, one of South Africa’s most prominent alternative rock bands. He has also contributed lyrics and vocals to a number of projects, most recently Beauty In Chaos, which features members of The Cure and Cheap Trick among others. Nyte’s works have been featured on NPR/PRI in the USA, and he has performed live in-studio to 125 million listeners on the international radio show Border Crossings. Ashton has written and performed in theatrical productions and organized philanthropic events including his Rock Against Rape concert series, and presenting a lecture series at US universities focusing on tolerance and acceptance. Ashton recently completed a 36 date European Tour with British indie artist Wayne Hussey in October 2019 and is currently completing work on his debut book of poetry and short stories, to accompany his new album release.
PRESS RELEASE – FOR IMMEDIATE USE
ASHTON NYTE – NEW ALBUM, BOOK AND VIDEO “WAITING FOR A VOICE” OUT TODAY
South African born singer-songwriter Ashton Nyte has just shared his cinematic dark-folk video, Waiting For A Voice.The video is the title track of Nyte’s new album, which is released today, in conjunction with his first book of poetry, lyrics, short stories, and musings, published by Intervention Arts.
Waiting For A Voice, Nyte’s 7th solo album was largely written and recorded after his 36 date European tour with Wayne Hussey (The Mission) concluded in October last year, and features his most personal songwriting to date. Dubbed “Johannesburg’s Bowie” by Cosmopolitan and the “lovechild of Johnny Cash and Nick Cave” by NPR, the new work sees Nyte blending poetry with haunting acoustic minimalism, animated by his rich, diverse baritone voice. The album contains 11 original songs, written, performed, and produced by Nyte, along with an intimate rendition of David Bowie’s "Heroes," dedicated to Nyte’s father, who passed earlier this year. The accompanying 134pg book expands on themes explored on the album, and is available in hardcover and paperback at www.ashtonnyte.com, along with vinyl, CD and digital versions of the album.
"In quiet desperation
I pulled the words aside
To cover up the violence
That blurred my aching my mind
And gazing through the portholes
Deafened by the noise
I spoke into the ocean
I’m waiting for a voice”
(Waiting For A Voice – Ashton Nyte)

| MIXED & MASTERED: | COLIN SHER (COSHER) |
| ABOUT: | Cape Town based producer / DJ “Cosher” has reworked a true South African classic, by the legendary “Mango Groove”. |
| His modern style rework of the iconic song “Special Star” draws from the drama, suspense, and swing feelings of the | |
| original, while maintaining a modern style and a fresh take at the production and arrangement to be compatible | |
| with today’s radio and listening formats. | |
| His blend of modern sounds and production along with the newly performed vocals by Cape Town Based top 10 Idols | |
| singer Niyaaz, gives the song a new appeal, while still being relevant and nostalgic to the older generation who will relate | |
| to the highly recognisable elements of the original composition. |
