Artist to watch out for
I am utterly and totally in love with this woman and her voice. Her name is Asa (pronounced Asha). She was born in the city of lights aka Paris and after living there for two years, her parents decided it was time to head back to their home turf; that of Lagos Nigeria where she has been based ever since.
Asa is influenced by artists like Marvin Gaye, Fela Kuti, Bob Marley and Aretha Franklin among others, and her first single "Jailer" is burning up the charts. I love it, and when you hear it you'll love it too... if you don't well then I'm sorry for you :) Now I predict big things for this lady. With the MTV Europe Music Awards coming up and the MTV African Music Awards coming too, I reckon she'll be nominated in numerous categories. For the EMA's specifically, she'll be in the Best African Act category and if she doesn't win, then I'll be surprised. As for the MAMA's... I aint sure what the categories are yet- the info is due soon I'm sure. So basically what I'm trying to say is that you should watch out for Asa... go out, support an artist like her and her beautiful music. Here's the video to Jailer for you listening/watching pleasure:
