Singer Asa is coming out with new album, Lucid, following 5- year hiatus

After a five-year hiatus from the music scene, internationally acclaimed Nigerian-French singer and songwriter, Asa, is gearing up to release a new album.

The album, her first studio album, titled Lucid will be released anytime from September this year. It will be Asa’s fifth album. And she has recently dropped two singles, The Beginning and Good Thing off of the project.

Asa gave hints about her new album in an interview with FRANCE 24’s Florence Villeminot.

Asa tells Florence that both Paris and Lagos shape her music. She says she gets her inspiration and storylines in Lagos and comes to Paris to ‘clean up’.

She says she has been busy all the past five years, featuring in concerts, travelling and also falling in love and falling out of it.

The whole idea of Lucid, she says, is about an amalgam of experiences in the past five years.

Lucid is about the idea of love. It might be for me, it might not be for me. With what I have seen, I cannot do what people expect of me. My whole message is that I am not going to be like my mother. I am going to be myself”.

Asa was born in Paris to Nigerian parents and she grew up listening to artists like Marvin Gaye, Fela Kuti, Bob Marley, Aretha Franklin, King Sunny Adé, Diana Ross, Nina Simone, whom she learnt from.

Her last album was titled, Bed of Stone and was released in 2014. S
