Asa - Ocean (Official Video)

With a myriad of wide ranging musical and creative influences, the internationally celebrated, multi-platinum Nigerian music star Asa, has always forged her own path with her trailblazing sounds and song-writing. Following the recent release of her song ‘Mayana’, today she returns with her brand-new single ‘Ocean’ and its cinematic visuals (out now via Platoon).

Once again teaming up with the exciting Nigerian producer Priime and seeing her taking cues from Pop, Afrobeat, R&B and Soul sounds, ‘Ocean’ sees Asa drawing on the mesmerising marriage of rhythmic, hip-shaking percussion and Asa’s sultry, laid-back vocals that has got long-time and new fans alike eagerly anticipating her just-announced, forthcoming new album ‘V’. Reconnecting with the talented Nigerian director and photographer Meji Alabi for the song’s dreamy music video, ‘Ocean’ is a magical, breezy affair that you will want to lose yourself within with every listen.

Speaking on the new single ‘Ocean’, Asa said: "Ocean is liberating and confident yet subtle. The power in knowing who I am, loving how I want, doing what I want and revelling in the drop dead ecstatic that God created."
