TUUDI (Scarlett Ash-Ingley) is an alternative pop artist based in London. She crafts immersive narratives and storylines with a retrospective and futuristic electronic sound. Her ethereal atmospheres, introspective lyricism, and haunting melodies invite listeners to explore complex characters.
Originally from Bedfordshire, she grew up exploring the countryside and began writing songs on an old, untuned piano at the age of 12. At 17, she began performing acoustically before turning to electronic-influenced pop in 2020. She currently co-produces, utilizing her skills in digital sound design and being inspired by recordings taken from her phone while travelling.
On her new single, “Fallen Angel,” TUUDI delivers an emotional performance brimming with immersive imagery and soaring vocal runs. The beautifully palpable single airs on the side of simplicity with a moving arrangement that swells with dramatic strings, creating the perfect backdrop for TUUDI’s poetic songwriting. “Fallen Angel” takes you on a journey; it is more like waking up inside a storybook than discovering a new artist. TUUDI seamlessly brings us into her world, creating a dark yet welcoming, fearlessly vulnerable atmosphere. The artist’s latest single quickly separates TUUDI from the rest of the burgeoning pop scene with a refreshing, hauntingly beautiful ballad tinted with soul and honesty. “Fallen Angel” paints the artist as an open book, the type of artist who can emerge from bleak situations with pure poetry that explodes out of the speakers with a quaint warmth.
“I wrote ‘Fallen Angel’ two years ago after I fell off a bike whilst travelling and broke a tyre. Dragging it down a desert road, I ended up recording the tyre hitting the frame, and, listening back, it gave me the feeling I was flying through a storm,” explains TUUDI. “Combined with many things I was going through at the time, it often felt exactly like that. But despite those moments of feeling lost, a hint of strength always begins to form.”
