Aṣa is the self-titled debut studio album by French-Nigerian singer Aṣa. It was released on 16 October 2007, via the independent record label Naïve Records. In 2008, the album was made available both physically and digitally in the United Kingdom and across Europe. Aṣa was primarily produced by Cobhams Asuquo, and mastered by Rodolphe Plisson and Jean-Pierre Chalbos. It was supported by the singles "Fire on the Mountain" and "Jailer". Recorded in English and Yoruba, the album is a mixture of indie pop, soul, jazz, reggae, folk, and R&B. Lyrically, it explores themes of personal strength, sensitivity, wisdom, and rebellion. Music publications such as Nigerian Entertainment Today and the Upper Entertainment called Aṣa a "masterpiece". The album won Album of the Year at The Headies 2008 and was awarded the 2008 Prix Constantin. Aṣa won Best Vocal Performance (Female) and Best Recording of the Year for "Bibanke". The album has sold 400,000 copies worldwide and was ranked eighth on Pulse Nigeria's list of the "top 10 Nigerian debut albums of the past 20 years". Aṣa charted in France, Switzerland, Belgium, and Germany at numbers 15, 65, 81, and 95, respectively. In the United States, the album peaked at number three on the World Albums chart and at 32 on the Heatseekers Albums chart.
