Ash Molloy Shares Anthemic Alt Rock Single "Nice to Know You"

LISTEN IN HERE

Ash Molloy returns with her most anthemic and cathartic release to date. Her new single "nice to know you" is a fiery alt rock sing along built to be shouted back at her from the crowd. It is a raw and unfiltered release that invites listeners to collectively say goodbye to toxic ties and broken friendships. From its soaring chorus to its biting lyrical edge, "nice to know you" captures the moment of finally letting go. The track is equal parts painful, liberating, and triumphant, a combination that makes it instantly relatable and emotionally powerful. Molloy’s commanding vocals ride over a crashing alt rock backdrop, evoking the energy of the 1990s icons she is often compared to while pushing her own voice further than ever.

"This song is about ending a relationship you’re not really ready to end," Molloy explains. "Specifically, it’s about those friendships where it’s been a long time coming – maybe it’s backhanded comments from them all the time or finding out they speak ill of you behind your back. You’ve known for a long time it was over but kept them around for whatever reason. They held onto their place in your life because of your own nativity or nostalgia or maybe because they’re just nice enough to keep around. Nice to know you, asshole." The frank honesty of her words mirrors the unflinching candor in her music.

With her vulnerability, fearless subject matter, and commanding stage presence, Ash Molloy is establishing herself as one of Canada’s boldest alt voices. Her work recalls the fearless lyrical approach of Fiona Apple and the uncompromising energy of Alanis Morissette, yet she infuses it with a modern flair reminiscent of Chappell Roan. This mixture of influences makes her music timeless while also firmly grounded in the present. She does not shy away from difficult topics and instead confronts them with sharp honesty and emotional fire.

A multi instrumentalist with a degree in neuroscience, Molloy brings intellect and emotion together in a way that feels both precise and raw. Her lyricism cuts deep, exploring themes of sexuality, body shame, and the messy reality of womanhood. Her songs carry both the personal and the universal, speaking to her own experiences while also reflecting the struggles and triumphs of her listeners. By weaving intellect and emotion together, Molloy has created a body of work that challenges expectations and refuses to conform.

This year has marked a true breakout for Molloy. From her small town beginnings in Newfoundland, she has stepped onto national stages, where her explosive live shows have captivated audiences across the country. Her performances are defined by both power and intimacy, leaving audiences deeply moved while also energized. The combination of her powerhouse vocals and her fearless storytelling has begun to establish her as one of the most exciting voices in Canadian music today.

"nice to know you" arrives as an anthem for release, an invitation for listeners to join Molloy in shouting goodbye to relationships that no longer serve them. It is a song that captures the universal experience of holding on too long and the freedom that comes when the final goodbye is spoken. The track is both a sigh and a roar, carrying the full spectrum of emotion that comes with moving forward. Its sing along quality makes it an instant crowd favorite and a likely centerpiece of her live performances.

Ash Molloy’s rise is only beginning. With more music and live dates to come, she is preparing to expand her reach even further, building on the momentum of this powerful release. Her combination of intellect, emotional honesty, and fearless artistry places her in a rare position. She is not simply writing songs, she is crafting anthems that speak directly to the lived experiences of her listeners.

"nice to know you" is a farewell song, but it is also an introduction to the next stage of Ash Molloy’s career. It shows her at her most unapologetic, her most fearless, and her most commanding. It is a song built for release, built for the stage, and built for every listener who has ever needed the strength to say goodbye.
