Rich in folkloric melodies, Era is LOCKO’s landmark as he drives into an era where he redefines his artistic and creative decisions. The album goes ahead to touch a wider audience across the Motherland through carefully picked out collaborations from some of Africa’s heavyweights like Tayc, Ful, Cysoul, Innos’B and Bramsito from France. LOCKO is one of Cameroon’s national treasures in the music sphere. The consistency in serving fans with multiple dulcet sounds and mind-blowing joints while stretching his sound across the universe has been one of his major goals and ERA seems to be the starting point to that “ERA”.

Filled with so many hit songs such as “Meme Meme Choses, Bloque and Don’t Call Me Back. The rich cultural respect to Manu Dibango in ManuLUV by sampling the Saxophonist’s 1972 popular record “Soul Makossa” meaning (I Will Dance) contributes to the richness in LOCKO’s body of work. The same “ma-ma-se, ma-ma-sa, ma-ma-ko-sa” refrain sampled by Michael Jackson and Rihanna in “Wanna be startin something & Please don’t stop the music” respectively and the incredible sound of the saxophone in the song plays a unique role in the fusion.

“I have had so many dark moments in my life. It is true they were not predesigned but most of them happened as a result of my fears.” I was afraid to confront my true emotions, afraid to confront the truth about myself and the people around me. These made me to live an illusionary life of rejection, hate, and the inability to love myself wholeheartedly. Ever since I found the LIGHT, I feel LIGHTER. — Asaba talks about the 9 track EP project.

“My energy, zeal and willpower to shine are unstoppable. I DESIRE to INSPIRE the world with my story through the music I deliver. I want to let the universe discover the truth about my life and the life of others via the diversity of my sound thereby giving hope to those in similar situations.” — She added
