    I will say this now and many times again: artists as talented as this and so many others don't need to be validated by mainstream channels and/or awards. They make music that comes from a raw, pure place that resonates with most who have the privilege of witnessing their talent. We are privileged to be a part of this dialogue. That's good enough for me, a voluptuary being.

    You know a song is excellent when it's relevant even after 14yrs.
    I was 12 when this was released and I enjoyed it as any regular music back the, but as time goes by, your mind evolves as you grow, Asa started to make more sense, more meaning.
    For some reason I've had Jailer on repeat after my recent Asa cravings. This woman is legendary, deserves more recognition 💜

    This song has a powerful message behind it. We all fall short somewhere. Instead of spending our energy at pointing out the speck in each others eyes in a manner of destructive criticism, why not be kind to each other and be accommodative of each other. Asa is a robust and powerful artist. Her musical sounds, vibes reach to the soul🙏...just discovered her music two weeks ago. I can say I am having one heck of a good time listening to it.

    it was recorded around 2007/2008. I was in pry 2 when this was a hit. I remember everyone bought her album. I was 6/7 at that time. I remember well.
