Nigeria's Asa set to release self-titled album

A BIG PUSH is on for Nigerian-born singer Asa (pronounced Asha) whose self-titled album on Dramatico Entertainment is released on 18th February. Asa fuses pop, R&B, world, funk, soul and reggae in an album sung in both English and Yoruba. Said Asa, "I want my music to touch people. As an African, I want to give hope back to my people, but also to speak in their name. I want to show the world that something beautiful and positive can come out of the black continent and inspire young people all over the world."

Asa is like a breath of fresh air as opposed to to all the junk artists out there who lack talent and focus and are not able to create an identity for themselves. Your music is inspiring, thought provoking and devoid of obscenity which has become the order of the day among young contemporary artists.
Keep it up and beware of pollution.

Asa, unbelievable. Touching, NO! Inspiring, NO! Splendid!, NO! Charismatic, NO! This is bigger than you, and thank you for conveying these beautiful spiritual thoughts and verses to everyone - God is with you indeed. This inspires life to change for the better. Yes, we are indeed African, let us love as such and share as such.

You could say i'm being partial cos she's Nigerian, but if loving good music is being partial then i'm guilty as hell.

She's an example in decency and creativity for our generation that would not take the time to do things right and with sense.

I rest my case.

Asa God bless you. And may your deepness never become shallow.

I have always seen Asa on pages of newspaper. Heard her music on radio but never married both of them. Until recently when both came together on my screen. It was so amazing to think that such a young lass could muster such awesome voice. Beauty and brains. A pride to womanhood.

Asa, you have the world at your feet.
