February 26, 2015 – International music star Asa has embarked on four nation’s international tour in Germany, France, Luxemburg and Switzerland to promote one of her latest album, Bed of Stone.
She has also released new photographs as part of the promotional campaign which she says has been quite revealing about her connection with fans so far.
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. She is also looks urbane unlike her usual African looks and respectful attire.
Speaking about the album “Bed Of Stone” the iconic singer said she wanted to prove a point to those who felt, ‘Hey, you’re nothing, you’ve been stained; You don’t have hope.”
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.
