This delicious new Nigerian singer/songwriter has created a considerable buzz, and rightly so. Her voice is a delight, at times vaguely resembling Corinne Bailey Rae though there are several African singers who have also clearly been an influence. Asa's acoustic guitar is cleverly integrated with deft understated programming by Cobhams Asuquo while her lyrics, though seldom making direct spiritual points, have a warmth and love of humanity which is as sunny as a day in Lagos. With lyrics often focusing in on peace and tolerance, this is engaging, deftly executed music which hopefully will be heard on our radios throughout the summer.

Asa you have never come out of my mind. I always have your voice as you sing Mr. Jailer. You have always made my mornings, afternoons and evening. I am sorry to myself because i am addicted and captivated by your music. I feel it is time to meet you live. I am not a musician and never have been but you really knockme of my feet everytime i play your music.
