ASHLEY KUTCHER RELEASES EMOTIONAL NEW SINGLE “BOY FROM CAROLINA”

Rising pop artist Ashley Kutcher releases vulnerable new single “Boy From Carolina”. Seductive, bittersweet, and relatable, the track details the highs and love of young love through Kutcher’s emotive and dreamy lyrics. “Boy From Carolina” is accompanied by an official music video, which paints a dreamy portrait of a blossoming relationship, and its gut-wrenching end.

“How do I know your skin? How do I know your touch?” Kutcher sings over strummed guitar and sparse percussion. “But you never let me in, you never open up.” The singer-songwriter documents that aching sense of distance on the chorus: “I could pick him right out of a lineup, Southern-looking boy from Carolina / blue eyes, but I don’t know what’s behind them.” It’s impossible to not get swept up in the raw emotions on display.

That also applies to the touching video, which follows Kutcher as she gets to know a small-town guy. It’s broken up, like a flood of vibrant memories, which all lead to her love interest getting caught cheating on her with another woman. The aching loss of the visualizer is driven home by the chorus’s final line: “He’s a good guy, and a damn-good liar.”

“Boy From Carolina” follows Kutcher’s recent single “I Can’t Swim,” a potent exploration of rekindling romance following heartbreak—with the same person. It was preceded by “Everyone and No One,” an equally bittersweet breakdown of love and doubt. Before that came her Survive My Own Mind EP, which featured the stripped-down “Love You More”—a streaming hit with more than 14 million streams on Spotify alone. The EP also contained the acoustic TikTok sensation “Nothing’s All the Time,” as well as the infectious “Emotionless.” With “Boy From Carolina,” the 24-year-old’s disarming ability to charm listeners with heart and vulnerability has never been more apparent.
