On Forging New Paths: Asami Zdrenka and Her Solo Career

Asami Zdrenka

One leaving followed by another, until all ultimately comes to an agreement of separating ways to pursue a solo career or simply quit the music industry altogether – this is a heartbreaking experience for fans as well as for the artist themselves. While not uncommon, as we were subjected to this reality several times during the first half of 2015, every announcement of this sort still stings – and for some, it hurts like hell.

What a welcome to the second half of the year for all the Neon Jungle fans, as last July, the four-piece girl group consisting of Shereen Cutkelvin, Amira McCarthy, Jess Plummer, and Asami Zdrenka decided it was the best to call it quits. However, while most are still drying their tears after the separation of the group who managed to capture the hearts of many listeners across the world in just a span of two years, there are also some who are quick to get back on their feet – including Asami Zdrenka.

Making music, visiting the studio, and releasing a cover trilogy, Asami Zdrenka wasted no time in building her career as a solo artist, an act showing how the girls may have separated as artists but still remain as friends so there should be nothing to mourn over. The month after Neon Jungle disbanded, Asami released the first part of her Cover Trilogy, a live performance posted in YouTube under Asami’s favorite songs. It aims to introduce her musical inclinations to listeners as well as to explore them herself, as she has not come to fully exercise them when she was still in Neon Jungle.

The first part of her trilogy comes in the form of a classic, “Only Love Can Break Your Heart,” which she made into a bewitching song of her own. The original came from Neil Young in the 70s and was covered again in the 90s by Saint Etienne. On the other hand, the second part of her cover trilogy is a favorite. Gritty and splashed with melodies on top of raw vocals, “Pure Morning” is the complete opposite of the laidback and mellow “Only Love Can Break Your Heart.” The third part is still in the works, but we have our fingers crossed for it to come anytime soon.

With hard work, frequent airplays, promotions and Asami’s pure talent, this solo career, she embarked on would hopefully bring her to the success that did not come quite into fruition in Neon Jungle.
