My love for Asa isn't an open-secret. In fact, my mum calls her "my musician." As if, I own her or what not. But, she usually means
Asa, my favorite artist. I bought my father the Beautiful Imperfection CD as a birthday/new year gift. Yes, I was that determined (in Chigul's voice, dee-ta-min-e-d) to get my whole family into the fandom. I pride myself in knowing all lyrics to her songs, even though they're quite easy to learn. Feel all mushy inside, even I visible protest seeing it, whenever people say we look alike. The Asa fever is so bad that I am contemplating buying a vinyl player so I can buy all Asa albums in vinyl and play the shit out of them.
Anyways, I found a couple pictures from
olorisupergal's blog of Asa from the spectacular concert she had at the Union Chapel a few days ago. Twitter didn't let me rest as it proceeded to inform me of what I am missing. Dammit, people, I know. Anyways, the pictures caused me so much swooning, I started dreaming of a buzzfeed article, dedicated to her wonderfulness. Make it happen, folks! Since, I suspect, no one realizes how much I want that article to happen, I have decided to make a mini one, using pictures stolen from OloriSuperGal. Don't judge. So, here we go:
10 Magical Moments from Asa's Union Chapel Concert
1. She was like "come to me, ye that are weary of shingogo noise, and I'll give you real music."

2. She was like I am going to close my eyes and taps into the spiritual powers that be because I am about the blow your minds off. In fact, I am about to Beyonce-slay you all without gyrating all over the stage. You all are about to gerrit!

3. Then, she opened her eyes to look into the crowd, to see if they're gerrinit. But, she had to do it without acting like it was her intention. Sly woman, sly!

4. She acts as a power conduit, connecting mere men to the divine heavenlies. We are on some spiritual lane here. You can't be half-assed in. Receive it, people.

6. Wait, you thought she was singing alone? The greats don't sing along to scratched CDs. They engage audiences with a capable band and backups who understand music. FYI, Asa plays three instruments, One of those guitars is hers.

7. Then she smiled at the crowd. She knew she was leading them to heavens. With her sound, they can gaze upon the white stonewall estate/kingdom and be blessed with hearing the angels sing. If only they believe though.

8. Then, she was lost by the sight of heaven. She's under her own spell.

9. She knows she doesn't have to make direct, searing eye contact to give a quality show. Closing her eyes, she whispers in her heart "do you trust me?"

10. She probably was singing Satan Be Gone. Like every woman knows, heels can prevent you from entering heaven, hindering you from a sprint as Angel Gabriel starts to close the gate. So, "you, be gone! I have no use for you."

And the crowd marveled at such fine set, such soothing sounds that appeased delicate ears. They had lost themselves into the enthrall, singing along. At the end, they stood up and clapped. They went home blessed.
