Ghanaian singer and songwriter born in New York, Amaarae is back with her new album called, Black Star. It’s a bold, genre-defying statement that pushes her sonic identity into uncharted territory. Blending Ghanaian highlife, baile funk, punky synths, zouk, and futuristic club rhythms, the album marks a confident evolution from her previous album. Co-produced by Amaarae alongside Kyu Steed, Bnyx, and El Guincho, Black Star is rich in diasporic textures and experimental flair. Its lead single “S.M.O.”, produced by Bnyx and Steed, fuses highlife guitars with Detroit club bass and celebrates divine Black femininity with infectious energy. Lyrically, the album continues her exploration of bisexuality, sensuality, and power, echoing the boldness of her earlier breakout hits. Early buzz from Ghana and beyond calls Black Star a cultural moment, redefining African pop with vision, pride, and artistic freedom. With this release, Amaarae positions herself not just as a singer, but as a creative force shaping the future of global music.
