Play 90 second soundbite of 'Fire On The Mountain' @ 'CD quality'
'Fire On The Mountain' is an intoxicating work that blurs the boundaries between pop, R&B, funk, soul and reggae. With more than a hint of her native Yoruba intonation and delivery, Asa makes her art-form universally balanced as she takes on all-comers in the 'world music' theatre. Asa's stunning, super-smooth, vocals are superbly set against heavily pulsating but simplistic rhythms and awesome backing voices. Asa has a natural warmth in her voice that instantly makes the listener feel good, cosseted and safe; her inherently 'Afro' but soulful style is bright, somehow optimistic and totally convincing - not to mention alluring. Surely 2008's gonna see Asa breaking into the big league across many continents - she certainly has an approach that's gonna appeal to music lovers of all races, creeds and religious persuasions - her naturally warm and friendly way is defo capable of breaking down all sorts of barriers, musically and ethnically.
'Fire On The Mountain' by the is joyously palatable Asa has a feeling of longevity about it; if it's promoted well and creates sufficient interest I can see this still doin' the rounds right the way through summer '08 - actually, it has that 'summer-music' feel to it and would grace any BBQ or pool-party, anywhere!! 'Fire On The Mountain' by Asa is a classy piece of work and deserves to do well for this impressive sounding young lady - bloody great, bloody cool, bloody well done!!
