Beneath its polished surface, Allie Ascentia asks an uncomfortable question with “What You’d Do For Money”, taken from her debut album “CROSSROADS”. Blending indie pop alternative with retro-soul nuances, the track leans on an organic bass line and a vintage modern aesthetic to explore greed, false appearances, and the feeling that someone else is pulling the strings behind the scenes. The song evokes a power game where integrity is quietly traded away, like in a casino where the house always wins. An elegant tension summed up by this blunt line: “I don’t know what you do for the money”. The music video, cinematic and mysterious, fully embraces the dialogue between music and artificial intelligence: the human mind imagines, AI helps bring ideas to life, and the visual universe grows richer. An intriguing proposal highlighted by Slash Music.
“I don’t know what you do for the money” Allie Ascentia
CROSSROADS, inner storytelling and a present in motion
Rather than locking herself into a single label, Allie Ascentia builds her music around the human experience. An independent artist and singer-songwriter, she develops a universe where sincere emotions, electronic textures, and intense visual storytelling intersect. Her approach is driven by exploration, doubt, and sharing, with writing conceived as a mirror of the crossroads everyone faces.
With “CROSSROADS”, a fourteen-track album available for streaming on all platforms since December twentieth, two thousand twenty-five, she asserts a coherent and deeply personal artistic identity. This project marks a key milestone and already opens the door to new creative extensions. The year two thousand twenty-six has only just begun, and Allie Ascentia’s journey is clearly still unfolding: keep your attention sharp, the next chapter is on its way.
