New Visual from Asa – ‘The Beginning’

The Paris-born/Lagos-bred singer/songwriter Asa has been enchanting audiences ever since her eponymously titled recording debut in 2008. Inspired by such diverse influences as Tina Turner, Otis Redding, Fela Kuti, Billie Holliday, The Beatles, James Brown, Angelique Kidjo and Lenny Kravitz, Asa‘s ability to craft heartfelt stories sung in English and Yoruba, set to lilting melodies and kinetic grooves, that weave together a stunning tapestry of her borderless influences, have made her one of the most refreshing artists of her generation.

On October 11th, 2019, Asa will release her fourth and first new recording in five years Lucid, an impassioned song cycle about a relationship gone bad featuring the first single, “The Beginning.” Check out the visual.

Asa‘s anticipated new album places her in the new generation of global citizen singer/songwriters Michael Kiwanuka, Lianne La Havas and Laura Mvula.
