I have been digging this soulful sister for a long time and I thought it'd be far out to share it with blog folks.Asa is a throwback from an era when music was truthful,sincere and heartfelt.She is a talented singer,song writer,guitarist and poet.
Asa is one of the few Nigerian musicians I listen to and I wish other Naija artiste will take after her.One gets tired of all the senseless 'Yahoozees','Gongo asos','Timayas' etc (I wonder where the musicianship is or what the the hell they talking about).
My favorite cuts on the album are-No one knows,Fire on the mountain,and the other beautiful Yoruba folksy songs.
Asa reminds me of Billie holiday,Nina Simone,Rita Marley,Fela and other Nigerian Afro Rock groups of the 70s.More power to her soul!

Happy New Year.
