Amaarae, the trailblazing Ghanaian artist, has officially released her groundbreaking album, Fountain Baby, under the renowned Interscope Records label. With critical acclaim from prominent publications such as NPR, The New Yorker, Billboard, and Elle, Amaarae's unique blend of experimental pop and Afrobeats has positioned her as a dominant force in the pop music scene.



Fountain Baby stands as a testament to Amaarae's immense talent and visionary approach to music. The album's irresistible tracks explore themes of female empowerment, gender norms subversion, and an enthralling exploration of female sexuality and artistic self-expression. Amaarae seamlessly fuses her West African heritage with a global perspective, transcending genre and regional boundaries.


This artistic prowess firmly establishes her as a crucial architect shaping the future of music.



To celebrate the album release, Amaarae treats her fans to a captivating new video for the explosive track Wasted Eyes, directed by the talented Lauren Dunn. The visually stunning narrative portrays a seductive encounter culminating in a fierce altercation between an assailant and the mesmerizing Amaarae herself.


The video not only celebrates self-expression but also accentuates Amaarae's magnetic sexual appeal, further solidifying her position in the pop music arena.




Continuing her meteoric rise, Amaarae's viral hit Sad Girlz Luv Money featuring Kali Uchis has recently achieved platinum certification. With over a remarkable 379 million global streams, the track has climbed the charts of the Billboard Hot 100 and dominated TikTok as the reigning #1 song for multiple weeks. This extraordinary accomplishment underscores Amaarae's undeniable impact in the music industry and solidifies her status as a true trailblazer.



Further attesting to her burgeoning fame, Amaarae has received an invitation to perform her new album for the prestigious NPR Tiny Desk series, with the performance scheduled for release later this month. This coveted opportunity not only showcases the widespread recognition of her talent but also affirms her place among the music industry's elite.



Reflecting on the release of Fountain Baby, Amaarae shares her thoughts, stating, "'Fountain Baby' exudes an unstoppable surge of sex appeal, abundant blessings, and undeniable swag. It serves as my vibrant declaration to the world that I am a truly blessed child of God."



As Amaarae continues to captivate audiences worldwide with her magnetic presence and unparalleled musicality, Fountain Baby solidifies her status as an artist pushing boundaries, redefining pop music, and leaving an indelible mark on the industry.
