"I've been listlessly going through Rhapsody searching for something to strike my jaded fancy for a couple of days and then this lady simply knocked me over! It's been a real long time since I've been so moved by a new talent.



I could settle for the Rhapsody "to go" download I subscribe to but I've ordered the CD because I want to hear every nuance and simply to support this amazing new talent a little better.



Others have done better than I could possibly attempt as a critical review so I won't even try. There is no way this album could disappoint!"

Tears of joy...

"When I heard the first track (Jailer) I thought, "Wow! Who is this Yoruba girl?" Oya Asa's voice is amazing O! I listened to a few more tracks and then it happened. I started to weep. My emotions got the best of me when I heard "Eye Adaba". What an amazing song that is. And her voice: its Erykah Badu, its Macy Gray, its Corrine Bailey Rae, its Billie Holiday, its wonderful. And the lyrics are so powerful. The entire album is incredible. Thank God for this new talent! Can't wait for the next album."

Beautiful Vocals!

"For the longest time I've been thirsty for music that can offer me something different, fresh, and more meaningful than the usual musical juice I generally hear playing on radio today (top 100 ). As I mature, my taste for music is evolving beyond the usual R&B/hip-hop blend that I've grown up listening to. Even listening to more laid back artist like Sade seem to offer no real musical stimulation for me lately (which is sad because Sade has great music). Who would have thought my love of music would be newly stimulated by this young artist. I can honestly say that I thoroughly enjoy listening to the depth and warmth of Asa's vocals mingled with what I describe as "simple" but summery instrumental tones. This has become one of my favorite CDs. "Jailer", "Fire on the Mountain", "Peace" and "So Beautiful" are my favorite tracks--yet the whole CD is great. I could probably go on and on about the life and substance that I feel this CD offers, but let me just end by stating: reward yourself by becoming encompassed in the musical beauty that Asa offers on her CD--buy it."
