Asa Drops New Album, Says "I've Matured"

Jailer crooner, Busola Elemide popularly known as Asa has dropped a
new album titled 'Bed of Stones'. The Album 'Bed of Stones' which
released days ago on Deluxe CD's, Vinyl and Vendors Worldwide has been
available for pre-order on iTunes.com since 25th of August

Songs in the album were born from her life and the shock she felt
coming off the road in 2012, after an incredibly long tour. "I needed
time to pull myself together. I toured for 2 years, gave everything I
had every single night.

I had been the girl that was full of life, force and energy that
people looked at for 2 hours on stage, and then congratulated
backstage after the show. But I was going home alone, never really
realizing how exhausting all that actually is...". Said Asa

After her last tour, she just couldn't stay home, so she traveled and
she wrote. Lagos, Berlin, the USA, London, Paris..." I wanted to feel
human again. Meet new people and do everything I always wanted to do
before I hit 30. I wanted to learn to swim, rent a car and drive from
Nashville to New York and from New York to Los Angeles and I wanted to
learn to skateboard and drive a motorcycle".

Asa's life is part of her songs as much as our life is part of her
songs; the inexhaustible subject that is love, the spiritual calling,
the need to party or to simply share a cup of tea with two friends.
"These experiences didn't necessarily make it into my songs, but they
served a purpose. It's all there! But "I've matured," says the soon to
be 32 year-old artist as the world enjoys her new offering.
