Asa – Jailer
 |
   |
This smooth groove begins with finger snaps, acoustic guitar, and lightly tickled keys, and finds the Nigerian-accented soulstress listing similarities between her and a prisoner — and remarking how beautiful life is despite it all. Midway through the infectious cut, subtle strings and background vocals harmonize as Asa calls for compassion and humanity to prevail. A simple message that’s passionately delivered in a manner that calls to mind the vocal stylings of Wyclef, instrumentation of D’Angelo, and teachings of Bob Marley.
