First Listen: Asa takes us to “The Beginning”

asa-beginning

The Paris-born/Lagos-bred singer/songwriter Asa has been enchanting audiences ever since her eponymously titled recording debut in 2008. Her 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 around

On October 11, 2019, Asa will release her Lucid, her first new recording in five years. It is an impassioned song cycle about a relationship gone bad featuring the first single, “The Beginning,” a beautiful cut that builds from a simple piano opening to a emotional ballad. 

“The Beginning” is our newest First Listen. Check it out below and welcome Asa to SoulTracks!
