We can't think of many artists that have had as distinctive and diverse a journey as Asha, nor who have been involved in as many different genres of music as her

A musical pioneer who forged a path through '60s psych, free-jazz, pop, rock, disco, and more.

To celebrate this golden hour in her stellar career we have repressed her legendary album, 'The Devil Is Loose'. Maybe her most well-known record, the 1976 LP features the psychedelic disco- funk- classic 'Space Talk', where Asha's soaring vocals take listeners on a journey that mirrors her eclectic career. Championed by a wide range of musical scenes and movements, over space and time it has been commandeered as their own.

Casting a unique spell on its listeners, each track on the album showcases Asha's majestic, celestial style and sumptuous vocal range. Backed by breathtaking orchestral- infused, disco- enhanced instrumentation, it's cinematic and captivating throughout. From the infectious funk of 'Flying Fish', to the cosmic transcendence of 'The Devil Is Loose' and the choir- channelling 'Say Yes', this album is a true masterpiece.

At Mr Bongo we are thrilled to be releasing records by such an iconic, musical maverick as Asha. She has blazed a trail so that others could follow. Whether you are buying this album as a replacement for your worn-out original copy or it's the frst time you've heard of Asha Puthli and you're just intrigued and drawn in by the cover, we hope you enjoy this quintessential slice of Asha's world.
