When Asa’s album dropped…I was like wow, sounds like Nneka. My friends nearly killed me, they didn’t even know who Nneka was. I got her album way back after seeing her video on the internet.

Her music is pure and unadulterated. She is the kind of artiste that would rather experiment and grow music-wise than cook up a formula and keep turning out album after album with the same generic shit.

I’m glad we have someone like Nneka. I’m glad we have someone like Asa. Their music makes the spirit dance and the soul stir.

It’s been a long time coming 1st got to hear her sing about a year ago in my friend Majics car, while going to the office @ 1st i was like damn seems Asa has opened the door for Afrocentric Soul Artists type……which in a way is a good thing and a bad thing because, making comparisons with this Asa is baseless……..”No Longer @ Ease” had some very angst ridden undertones and her passion reverberated through her voice like a tidal wave on closer inspection and i thought this babe could be another force of nature….not just another wannabe….but d real McCoy.

Woo! Great review and glad you enjoyed the album. I think you really nailed a couple of things about her and the album in your review and just from listening to the album.

The thing about it that struck and still strikes me as I listen to it (and I DO listen to it a LOT which is odd for me with a Nigerian album) is that it is all raw, emotional stuff but she still manages to keep it real and artistic at the same time.

She ain’t perfect, but you know, that makes for great art.

Been hearing alot about this Nneka chic- mostly good things- and seeing as you actually gave her a good review after witnessing the way you ripped the other albums you reviewed to pieces, might actually listen to this one…might being the imperative word!
Get Divided.
