Not relegating to the background the dexterity of a host of other female musicians like Waje, Tiwa Savage, Chidinma, Omawunmi, Sasha, Yemi Alade, Weird MC, Cynthia Morgan and others both on stage and on records, Asa seems to top it all. One of Nigeria's finest lyricist and guitarist, the dread-locked artiste has been a stand out performer over the years, consistently delivering well composed and perfectly written songs.
Asa is the most celebrated female musician in Nigeria and over the time she has carved for her self a new sphere of musical genre and am almost tempted to call that musical genre 'asa'.
MaxNaija will be listing out 5 resons why Asa is considered the best female artiste in Nigeria
1. INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION:
More than any other female artiste in Nigeria and even in Africa Asa enjoys the greatest international acknowledgements and awards.
She is one Nigerian female vocalist that has such fame in Europe especially in France, winning the prestigious french constantin award.
She has been on countless tours around the world and bagging awards on such platform as the BBC.
2. QUALITY BEATS:
Unlike a good number of other female artiste mentioned above, Asa is not a 'beat-maniac' (so to speak) her songs are not songs that can be used to entertain patronizers in strip clubs similar gatherings. She not only sings songs that can be used in events, the bulk of her songs are songs for the mind speaking wisdom into your heart. Asa being one of the few artiste to master the art of musical instrument plays the guitar very well. Little wonder she enjoys such international recognition as such songs move the world.
3. ZERO NUDITY:
Asa does not use sexuality to sell her records. You will never see an array of ladies shaking their butts in sensual manners on her videos as commonly practiced in the Nigeria music videos in recent times which is gradually becoming pornographic by the day. Asa sings in the pure nature and essence of Africa music which is to impact and influence.
Asa doesn't use dirty words in her lyrics. Her stage presence and performance is inspiring and wholesome. Now compare this to other female vocalists who go on stage almost naked trying to imitate american singers forgetting we have are culture.
4. LYRICS:
Asa is regarded as the best of all female lyricist in Nigeria. Now take a breather and try to listen to one of her music tracks you can lay your hands on. Listen carefully to the lyrics and you'll see that the words carry meaning,wisdom and truth. Not all Nigerian musicians are so skillful in the art even with the male folks such dexterity is hard to find.
5. GOOD DRESS SENSE:
Dwelling more on personality in this paragraph, Asa might not be regarded as a fashionista and all, but her appearance depicts decency, moral soundness and portrays the African culture. Asa doesn't go all crazy with fashion and put on wears to expose sensitive parts of her body.like other female celebrities. we've seen celebrities graced the red carpet with dress that left fans awed and disappointed.
