Asa Artist Snapshot:

Paris-born, Nigeria-raised singer-songwriter Asa (pronounced "Asha"; born Bukola Elemide) has a low, sensuous voice and a knack for neo-soul material rooted in the likes of Marvin Gaye, Roberta Flack, and Sade. Singing primarily in English (although she also occasionally performs in Yoruba), Asa draws some influence from Nigerian giants such as Fela Kuti, but her 2007 debut album fits comfortably next to contemporaries like Corinne Bailey Rae and Jill Scott.

Title Note

Audio Mixer: Christophe Dupouy.

Audio Remasterer: Rudolph Plisson.

Recording information: LeChantier, Montreuil.

European and American audiences often somewhat patronizingly think of African pop music as being somehow more "pure" and "elemental" than their own. However, the marvelous thing about the first full-length album by Nigerian soul belter Asa is that the singer-songwriter has created an album that's as immediately accessible as Duffy's ROCKFERRY or Adele's 19 in its blend of R&B, pop, and vintage soul. Even the one track in Asa's native tongue, "Eye Adaba," wouldn't sound out of place on a Corinne Bailey Rae album.
