Some albums are made for one mood. Right Where I Am isn’t one of them.
Ashera has created a record that feels just as fitting for a solo drive as it does for dancing around the kitchen with the windows open. It’s honest without being heavy, catchy without losing its meaning, and packed with songs that remind listeners it’s okay not to have everything figured out.
The Houston indie pop artist has spent the last few years building her sound through consistent releases, live shows, and a genuine connection to her local music scene. Now, Right Where I Am brings everything together in one place, showing exactly who Ashera is as both a songwriter and producer.
One song that continues to stand out is “do do do.” With more than 42,000 streams, it’s become her biggest fan favourite so far and it’s easy to hear why. The playful melody, memorable chorus and effortless charm make it the kind of song that stays in your head long after it finishes.
The rest of the album keeps that momentum going. “Read My Mind” has become another listener favourite, while “Dead End” and “Where Did the Magic Go” continue to rack up thousands of streams thanks to their relatable stories and infectious indie pop sound. Then there’s “I’ll Be Fine,” one of the album’s most heartfelt moments. It captures the message at the centre of the record: learning to accept where life has taken you instead of constantly worrying about where you should be.
Even lighter moments like “Bedroom Eyes,” “Fly On the Wall” and the dreamy “Flowers in My Hair (ladidadidada)” help give the album its personality, proving Ashera isn’t afraid to mix fun, vulnerability and curiosity into the same project.
Right Where I Am feels like an album made by someone who loves creating for the sake of creating. Every song has its own story, but together they paint a picture of growing up, embracing uncertainty, and finding comfort in the present. It’s fun, relatable indie pop that feels real from start to finish, and it’s another exciting step forward for one of Houston’s rising artists.
