After writing for other artists, the alt-pop singer-songwriter delivers her first release since 2022 debut album, introducing forthcoming EP “Chemical Makeup.”

This one came from a really honest place. I just stopped filtering and let the song be what it is. If someone hears it and feels less alone, that’s everything.”

— Ashtin Robbi

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, September 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Los Angeles-based alternative-pop artist and songwriter Ashtin Robbi releases her new single “Double Life” today, marking the beginning of a new chapter in her artistry and the first introduction to her forthcoming Q1 EP, Chemical Makeup. The single also marks Robbi’s first release alongside label partner DNT Entertainment, with worldwide distribution through The Orchard, a subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment.

Chill, intimate, and emotionally exposed, “Double Life” explores the disconnect between the person we present to the world and who we are when no one is watching. Built around honest lyricism and a guitar-driven core, the track begins in a restrained, confessional space before swelling drums and layered vocals transform that tension into an emotional release.

At its center is the pressure to appear stable while quietly unraveling, becoming the person everyone else needs while struggling to recognize yourself underneath it all. Rather than offering an easy resolution, “Double Life” gives those conflicting emotions room to exist, creating a reminder that the parts of ourselves we hide may be more universal than we realize.

“This one came from a really honest place. I just stopped filtering and let the song be what it is. If someone hears it and feels less alone, that’s everything.”
— Ashtin Robbi

Ahead of its official release, Robbi gave audiences their first introduction to “Double Life” on August 22, 2026, performing the song live for the first time while opening for Nour Khodr at The Troubadour in Hollywood. The performance offered an early glimpse into the vulnerable, alternative-leaning sound and storytelling defining this next chapter of her career.

Written by Hannah Rose Robuccio (Ashtin Robbi), Lauren Rintoul, and Danny Rivera, “Double Life” was produced by Danny Rivera and mixed and mastered by Dan Knittel.

The single serves as the opening statement for Chemical Makeup, Robbi’s forthcoming EP. Rooted in vulnerability, melody, and lyrical honesty, the project explores identity, internal conflict, and the emotional spaces people often conceal beneath the versions of themselves they allow others to see. Guitar-led songwriting, cinematic textures, layered vocals, and intimate storytelling form the foundation of the project and signal an evolution in Robbi’s sound since her 2022 debut.
