Yourstru.ly and Brooklyn Vegan says: " "December 28th" is especially Grizzly Bear/Fleet Foxes-esque. "
Feel free to share Caveman's Decide and December 28th.

Asa This Nigerian-French singer and songwriter made waves across the globe with her debut album for her smoky voice and political message wrapped in deceptively sweet melodies and gentle acoustic guitar strumming. On Beautiful Imperfection she goes for a more joyous, uplifting sound with elements of reggae, pop, and rock. It falls somewhere between the soul-pop of
Erykah Badu and
Raphael Saadiq and genre-bending artists like VV Brown. The album is out in the US on
September 6th, but has already gotten rave reviews across the globe including 4 stars in the Guardian (UK). Click HERE to hear her sunny, reggae-tinged single "Why Can't We" and click HERE for more info, photos, etc. Reach Kabeerfor guest list information.
