Nigeria: From Ella Fitzgerald to Wizkid, Aṣa’s radical turn
Nigerian talented songstress Aṣa surprises fans as she unveils her new album titled “V“.
The new album “V” is a classic masterpiece of good music selection and with notable guest features like Wizkid, The Cavemen, and Amaarae.
With ‘V’, her fifth album, which she recorded in Lagos, Nigerian singer Aṣa has taken the time to reconnect with the local scene and collaborate with some big-name artists, like Wizkid.
Gone is the guitar-wielding, wise-cracking rocker look. Aṣa, whose real name is Bukola Elemide, has swapped her huge black glasses – her trademark since the beginning of her career – for flashy tinted lenses. She has even been daring enough to post pictures of herself wearing grillz, the favourite accessory of US rappers, on her Instagram account. This is a sign that the jazz enthusiast – who grew up listening to Ella Fitzgerald and her father’s vinyl records, from Marvin Gaye to Fela Kuti – has done a 180.
“V” album, houses an amazing 10 tracks record produced by P.Prime, mixed by Joshuafaulkner, and mastered by Engine_earz.
