Best Of USA press quotes!
"Because this Nigerian has a voice that's tough to shake; its capacity for
warmth and anger can turn misery on its head." Esquire
"Asa weaves
personal and political tales with fervor and smoke filled vocals, recalling Bob
Marley on the reggae-infused "Jailer." Time Out New York
"As a
songwriter, she's revealed a startling depth and range, seamlessly taking on
both the personal and the political - as well as an array of styles that ranges
from acoustic folk-pop to reggae-tinged r&b." National Geographic
Music
"Asa has a politically conscious yet sweet sounding vocal
presentation that with the help of her dreadlocks and guitar is exceptionally
reminiscent of Bob Marley." Huffington Post
"The tenor of her lyrics is
personal, with general messages of social benevolence: war is destructive, her
mother is beautiful, God is great, and can lovers be trusted? Asa is the kind of
thing I imagine I'm reading about when I see a reviewer refer to the album
they're reviewing as a "gem." PopMatters
