Ashley Dupree Releases Song And It's Good!



Name ring a bell? Sadly most of us only know her as the call girl involved in bringing down Governor Spitzer of NY. His fall was hard but he got work after losing his job. Ashley has had a tougher time. Book deals canceled because she wouldn't write a 'tell all' and worse. She's not a hypocrite. She was. Now she's paid the price for her art. The good news is she will have a reality show on Bravo, but her greater desire is as an artist. This is a young woman that made bad decisions and sucked it up and turned away bad money for self-respect. How ironic eh?


There are many aspiring performers and artists. Ashley was one of them before she took on her secret second job. Her talent has been obscured by the scandal. The world media especially gossip leeches had a field day focusing on her other life as if that was her life.

You can review a snippet of the song with the Imeem player below. Decide for yourself if her song is something you'd add to your own play list. I will say this, as a former musician and lyricist, this ballad has some legs due to the story it tells.

You can guess it's an autobiographical piece on redemption and acceptance. The question I have is where does she go from here? You can only write this song once. It's more of a lounge song or guilty pleasure but it is a heartfelt honest tune with appeal.
