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 💜
She is one of a kind of artist no soul can copy or duplicate. She is a LEGEND, and her songs speaks to the past, present and the feature. Her music perpetuates many symbols of the reality of every day life as humanity. Just powerful!!!
@@sosamizfit3669 nothing happened to her she’s in abroad with her family and kids and she’s still doing music but not very much tho and she’s still okay and young and making deals here and there and going for events too on a low
You know what is amazing. My old teacher put that song in English class in France. She was very old, I don't know if she's still alive. I was one of the only ones who liked the song. And now English is not a mystery for me anymore
@poxola.stonesI don't see what he said as hate on burna and he didn't say burna didn't deserve the Grammy, what he simply saying is this particular project deserves a Grammy and that would have been way before burna
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.
I can't get over Asa, more than a decade and still great. You were way ahead of your time. The best Female Artist from our beloved continent. Just wish we give more appreciation to such talented acts. Asa I see and I love you.
Anyone here still resonating with song in 2023? 14yrs later and I'm not over this writing and the message plus that piano and don't forget the star of the show. Asa! Glad you are still making music. Still a fan. Much love from 🇰🇪🇰🇪 Kenya. Next stop...fire on the mountain top Asa...love from Kenya
i bought a guitar after this and practised every day for 8months. she truley is an inspiration to anyone and everyone and i think everything she is just makes her more beautiful because she isn't afraid to be it. love u asa and thank you for inspiring me. i have bought your new album aswel and love it. maybe is my fave on the new album!
Wow! It's been 10 years since you drooped this comment. I hope you're well. I just want to say I'm always happy when I hear how someone inspires another person to do something, especially if it's through music.
I always thought when she was talking about Mr Jailer I thought it was a person until I discovered its about imprisonment and the entire society how they judge people. Sometimes society makes us feel like we are in jail
I played 'Fire on the Mountain' on the morning of 21/10/20 and cried like a baby. The scenes of our soldiers shooting at fellow citizens at Lekki Tollgate the night before was too much to take; Asa's words was as prophetic as it gets.
+Charles King are u jeolous of he ,cos is not easy to b in u.s live people with their comment ok, if he's a musician now u guys will b happy to hear u.s
J'aime beaucoup ces chansons,elles sont calme meme je comprend pas forcément puisque c'est de l'anglais. Jai toujours pensé qu'elle etais américaine. Merci encore
Asa's most popular song. I'm Ghanaian but I love Nigerians more....I soak their music most. my top 5 African artistes are: 1. Fela Kuti 2. Asa 3. Miriam Makeba 4. Efya 5. still searching
I have truly never had the priveledge of listening to, of hearing, of imagining with such an astounding songwriter and musician as well as a true artist of voice and tone. Thank you, Asa, for the amazing experience!
I turned 20 this year and I have so much gratitude for these two songs. My parents played these songs while I was growing up and even after all these years I find comfort in them. thank you
They played this music everyday on the radios while I was In class 4 this was how I knew I had been late for skul cuz I it played at 7:30am😂and it’s 14 years now
I love her!! 😍😭 this song just came to my mind, I kept searching the lyrics I remembered and it was worth. I’ll forever love this song, best believe my kids will jam this... much love 💗🇿🇦🇧🇼
It's 2024, and this still resonates. Who's listening to this in 2024?

ASA SWEETIE!
YOU VOICE IS SO HEAVENLY.
TRY SINGING SOME SONGS ABOUT JESUS CHRIST PLEASE 🙏
Pure Genius!!! In my opinion, the “Asa” 2007 Album is the best contemporary music Album in the history of Nigerian music. It deserved a Grammy!!!
The most underrated song I’ve ever seen.
If only Bob Marley was alive to see such pure talent! Love her to bits
He sees it 🙏
Definitely
You know a song is excellent when it's relevant even after 14yrs.

I will tell you something, this song will still be relevant in 114, 214 years. It is THAT good. And so is a lot of her other work.
Are you 26?
I was 20, n I still love it
Underrated masterpiece she deserves a Grammy with this album
Yes, totally agree.
Truly amazing
Thanks Naija for giving us such a jam... much love all the way down from satafrika 🇳🇬🇿🇦
She is one of a kind of artist no soul can copy or duplicate. She is a LEGEND, and her songs speaks to the past, present and the feature. Her music perpetuates many symbols of the reality of every day life as humanity. Just powerful!!!
Do you know what happened to her?

You know what is amazing. My old teacher put that song in English class in France. She was very old, I don't know if she's still alive. I was one of the only ones who liked the song. And now English is not a mystery for me anymore
This lady right here should have gotten a Grammy way way way before burna.
Don’t you know the world doesn’t like “GOOD EDUCATIVE & INSPIRATION SONGS”……
That’s why we’re still suffering…..
This is music
@poxola.stonesI don't see what he said as hate on burna and he didn't say burna didn't deserve the Grammy, what he simply saying is this particular project deserves a Grammy and that would have been way before burna
J’ai aimé cette chanson en 2008 jusqu’à maintenant 2024 je plane tjr mon Dieu ❤❤❤
une légende cette chanson ❤
good music never dies...never gets old...we still here in 2019..love from kenya
Her sound...her vibe... it's Tracy Champman meets Bob Marley🌹
Listening in August 2024 ❤️❤️💙💙

Spot on analysis...
2023 still haven’t found any artist like Asa 😭❤️
Every time I hear you, I always feel so emotional and feel like crying. A voice that touches souls. From your Taiwanese fan.
Agreed 😔
Thanks an extra
Beautiful songs. I must have been 13 when I heard them the first time. They would play on TV, back-to-back just like this. Still amazing.
I can't get over Asa, more than a decade and still great. You were way ahead of your time.
The best Female Artist from our beloved continent. Just wish we give more appreciation to such talented acts.
Asa I see and I love you.
I wish that too. Unfortunately, Nigerians don't appreciate quality music like this.

Ce fut mes chansons matin et soir, lorsque c'est sortie
Chaque fille que j'ai connu pendant cette époque
Savait bien chanter les musiques de ASA
A timeless song
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.
ASA est ma chanteuse préféré nigériane. cette chanson est trop top.
Oui, c'est vrai. J'aime Asa aussi. Tes chansons sont super!
