Nigerian International soul singer Asa has released a new song after fans have waited for several years for the singer’s work.
Asa’s last album was the ‘Bed of Stones’ album released in August 2014 with the hit songs “Éyó” and ‘Dead Again”
Asa’s professional music career started after she attended the IMFP school of Jazz music in France, where she was told she already had all it took to be a recording artiste. She signed on to Naïve Records, was introduced to Cobhams Asuquo, and they set out to work on her debut self-titled album “Asa”. The album after release became her first platinum album, topping charts across Europe, Asia, and Africa and winning the French Constantine Award in Paris in 2008.
She has since then released 3 other albums with “Beautiful Imperfection” peaking at number 3 on the world music charts.
Following the success of ‘Bed of Stones’ not much had been heard of the dreadlocked songbird until Tuesday, 14th May when her new song ‘The Beginning’ was released online, with a stunning video.

Asa – The Beginning, Lyrics:
One of us must have a last say
Words like dagger we try to hurt each other
There’s no other way until one surrender
We’ve been like this for days
We’ve been like this for days
So when you said goodbye
With a smile on your face
I thought it was as usual
You’ll be gone just for a little while
I didn’t see it coming
Won’t believe If someone else told me
I’ve been waiting for years
I’ve been waiting for years
Even though we near
Like we far away
Far from far away
Can you hear me
Can you hear me
Can you hear me
Let’s go back to the beginning
None of us must have a last say
I’m writing you this letter
Hoping we can make things clearer
Over all the shouting
We forget to hear each other
And I missed for days
In so many ways
Even though we near
Like we far away
Far from far away
Can you hear me
Can you hear me
Can you hear me
Let’s go back to the beginning
