Asa "I was looking for love before I
recorded 'Bed of Stone'"
Asa shares the inspiration behind her latest
album, 'Bed of Stone' as well as some of her
favourite Nigerian acts and possible
collaborations.
The next time you listen to Asa's 'Bed of Stone' ,
you may want to take a moment to appreciate the
absolute nothingness from which it was spun as
the leading female vocalist has revealed that
before she recorded the album, she felt empty and
in need of someone to love.
Asa who was a guest of 'The Mid-day Show With
Toolz' on the Beat 99.9 revealed that this
emptiness and the need for change became the
inspiration for her album.
"I felt empty, my last tour took a lot of energy
from me and I felt like I'd written everything I
could. So the album was inspired by spontaneity
and the need for change".
The 'Eyo' singer narrated how this need would
lead her to drive for 18 hours from Nashville to
New York in the United States. She would go on
to attribute this drive as the inspiration behind the
track "How Did Love Find Me".
"I can still see the mountains in my mind when
the song plays and I wondered if its possible to
find love here in the middle of nowhere where
nobody knows me" she said on The Mid-day
Show With Toolz.
Asa who admitted to finding love with a non-
Nigerian revealed that there had been talks of a
duet with 2Face Idibia. She also went on to
name Yemi Alade, Flavour , Cynthia Morgan , Seyi
Shay, Selebobo and Olamide as some of her
favourite acts while 'Duro Soke' made the cut as
her favourite Olamide track.
