Emerging powerhouse vocalist Asmi Aderay makes her mark with ‘I’m That Woman’, a boldly self-confident and undeniably catchy single. With influences from the likes of Miley Cyrus, Whitney Houston and Kelly Clarkson tucked away in her back pocket, this Indian-born Los Angeles-based songwriter clearly knows how to craft soaring pop hooks, which in this case have been injected with a hearty soulfulness and anthemic rock edge. ‘I’m That Woman’ is also accompanied by a polished music video, in which Asmi looks like the heroine from your favourite rom-com with her playfully feminine outfits, self-assured mannerisms and summer garden settings.

With production from Claudia Mills, the track opens with a plucked guitar refrain and upbeat bass line which immediately sets everything in motion. It swiftly blossoms into a stirring pop-rock soundtrack onto which Asmi’s commanding mezzo-soprano range can freely roam. With repeat-worthy lyrics like “I’m that woman, only woman, who sees you fully,” this artist courageously builds herself up in a world that often wants women to play themselves down. And thus, we come to the crux of this inspiring single; it’s about recognising your worth in a relationship. ‘I’m That Woman’ is an utterly refreshing pop gem and Asmi Aderay is simply formidable.

“It’s about recognizing your own value in a relationship and knowing that your presence, care, and emotional understanding are powerful qualities—being confident that you’re the right person for the one you care for.”
