"I hate music after my tours"

After making music, and organizing tours, singer Asa feels a certain need to recover from all of the fast life.

The songstress kicks off her European tour for the album, ‘Bed of Stones’,  today, February 18, 2014, and will be visiting major cities in Germany, France and other countries.

Asa has revealed how she feels at the end of her tours in an interview with My Africa Podcast. She talks about her techniques of recovery.

“There’s a lot of reading. First there’s a block, what the hell do I do…what do I write, my brain is fried, there’s nothing”. Asa said.

“You’ve given everything, like everything on stage, and you see sometimes I’m unable to watch the recording, because I’m like ‘why did you do that’, why in God’s name did you sing like that. You could have been much more prettier, while singing.

“But this is the moment, you have to catch it, and nobody cares if you have a cold at the concert. Nobody cares if you have just had your heart broken. You have to go and give 200%.”

Asa further revealed her dislike for music, after her tours. She stays away from any music-related activities, preferring to live a simple life, and connect to normalcy.

“After the show and the tour, I don’t even want to listen to music, nothing. I don’t want to do anything near musical. I just need to…it’s like recovering.”

“Books, friends and travel. I don’t want to travel by airplanes any more, I want to go on a road trip. I want to go back to the beginning, and the simplicity, walk with my feet, and touch the things, you know, be real. Just live normal.

“For 200 days we’ve been perceived as gods, and divas, you know, people come to you, they cry..’what just happened’. People wanna touch you, wanna kiss you, and when all that is done, and you are alone, and you don’t have this people no more, and the reality…there’s a crash, there’s a block, and you just need to go back to recovery.”
