Aujourd'hui, nous vous présentons une artiste que nous avons rencontrée durant le festival Les Créatives au mois de novembre. Après Mélissa Lavaux et Imany que vous avez eu la chance d'écouter il y a quelques semaines, aujourd'hui, place à la tête d'affiche Asa ! Petit bout de femme au rire enjoué, il suffit qu'elle monte sur scène pour mettre tout le monde d'accord : il s'agit bien d'une des révélations féminines de ces dernières années! Après un premier album nommé comme elle, Asa a sortit il y [...]
ASA (lê-se Asha) é uma das vozes adoráveis do soft soul que você não terá coragem de dizer não. A paixão pode ser instantânea. A cantora que tem "Gavião" como significado de seu nome em Yoruba (língua nigeriana), nasceu na França, mas ela e sua família voltaram a sua origem na Nigéria quando ela tinha apenas dois anos. Ao completar 20, Asa fez o caminho de volta a Paris para investir em sua carreira musical. O som da franco-nigeriana é trabalhado num soul leve e de personalidade, apesar de ter um apelo mais pop em seu último álbum [...]
Not sure how we even came about this one...was probably Asa just popping up on our Facebook stream lol. Love what he has done to the 'Initiation' track by The Weeknd . Hard drum loops for the dam win. Not for release, just a dance floor bootleg. Keep up to date with all things Asa on his page here .

Last Japan's Settle Down finally sees the light of day on wax, well worth your hard-earned. Such a slick release, the Bobbie Gordon featuring track being supplemented by 'Girl', a more introspective affair, still pushing the same warm buttons. The trio of remixes for the original dovetail nicely, Bondax continue to show they have presence [...]
So I had an iTunes nightmare Friday night which ended up in me losing all my playlist, client work and DJ selections. Everything I do is based on my organization so the magnitude of this fail is so ridiculous that I've found it hard to even have an emotion about it. Instead I've been up for the last 48 hours re-doing all the work due in the next few days and pretty much rebuilding my work life. I haven't had much time to think about it because the consequences of not bouncing back immediately don't allow it but I'm realizing [...]
Cliche picture, I know. It's not everyday you have these three producers working together on a track. Free download via Asa's Bandcamp . Asa & KOAN Sound - Kaneda (Stumbleine Remix)
Sunday Girl has been a Tracasseur favourite since we first heard her cover of Laura Branigan's "Self Control". Sunday Girl aka Jade Williams got her name from when she worked in a pet store every Sunday back in the days. Nowadays she has her own fashion brand, writes music for big artists such as Kylie and Deadmau5 and are also about to release her debut album early 2012. Sunday Girl is a big girl now. Recently she also got a Hype Machine #1 hit with the RAC remix of her single "Love U More" [...]
Asa's second disc Beautiful Imperfection Is just perfection. Filed under: Beats , Haiku Review Tagged: album , asa , mew , review music
We thought Asa's debut album was stellar, but her sophomore effort is just perfect. Beautiful Imperfection is a great record filled with many releasable singles. "Why Can't We Be" is definitely a highlight. Filed under: Beats , Clip Tagged: asa , download , happy , leak , music , new , single , why can't we be
Asa's new album, Beautiful Imperfection , bounces around from genre to genre, creating 12 songs that all sound distinctive, but rarely reach dig deeper than the surface. Every song sounds pleasant enough, coasting along to plucky guitars, pianos, and Asa's smooth voice, but none of these songs have an edge that would make them truly engaging. Beautiful Imperfection is filled mostly with songs about love and the troubles that come with it, but there's no pain or self-reflection behind Asa's musings about these difficulties, leaving a song like "Be My Man", a song about [...]

Asa (pronounced "Asha") Smith's lovely voice on Beautiful Imperfection (Naive Records) proves she's a singer with a difference. She adds her own lyrical coloration layer to soul, & does it sweetly. Smith displays a vocal intuition and wisdom in a minimalist approach to self-expression that gives her voice all the more intensity for slightly scaling it back. Smith's songwriting is a series of rolling stills of epiphanic thoughts that are as likely to occur while on line at the post office as they are when you're looking for a breakthrough. "Ok Ok" is a melancholy-to-hopeful echo-effect infused ballad about enjoying life while you [...]
