According to the singer and songwriter, “I wanted to prove a point to those who felt, ‘Hey, you’re nothing, you’ve been stained; you don’t have hope.’”
The statement comes with the release of new promotional photographs as she embarks on the European leg of her Bed of Stone album tour.
A departure from her usual laid back style, the French-Nigerian soul singer appears coolly sophisticated dressed in a menswear inspired suit with a plunging neckline, and strikingly ephemeral in a white shirt paired with a full-length azure skirt, among other outfits. The minimalist approach to her makeup highlights the styling to make sure that Asa–mature, sultry, and alluring–is front and centre.
Just like the rest of her career, the tour has been a success so far and Asa spoke briefly of its impact.
“It has been an overwhelming experience,” she said. “You know you have done well when fans can connect to you and you also feel such connection and that in itself is powerful which says you are successful.”
The talented singer continues her tour in Germany, France, Luxembourg and Switzerland, with other cities to follow.
Born Bukola Elemide, her two other albums are Asa and Beautiful Imperfection.
