ASA: 'JAILER'

Hotly tipped a while ago by B&S comes Asa (pronounced Asha) with the eclectic 'Jailer'. A welcome mix of heart, soul and some poignant lyrics thrown in for good measure help you visualize both the artists feelings and memories on this track.

Having a knowledge of the album and Asa's background you sense that this artist has a lot to convey within the song medium. Lines will be drawn between her and Tracy Chapman in appearance with locks and acoustic guitar mixed with the deftness of her simple but effective delivery.

I hope Asa will be judged on her own merits though, as a fledgeling singer and songwriter waiting to soar the heights of song/story telling. Good song and a good voice. We look forward to the next installment from Asa and the next chapter in her life.

Video is 'Jailer' Live... Enjoy!
