Ghanaian-American alté-pop visionary Amaarae just dropped what might be the boldest African line up of the year, her highly anticipated new album line up for BLACK STARS has been revealed.
The album which is set to drop this Friday, August 8, features 13 genre-blending tracks with a guest list that’s nothing short of iconic.
Big names like Naomi Campbell, PinkPantheress, Charlie Wilson, Bree Runway are all in one space curated by the queen of sonic experimentation herself.
Amaarae kicked off the BLACK STAR era with S.M.O.,a high-energy visual filmed in Ghana, followed by GIRLIE-POP, her dreamy Brazilian-inspired single that dropped some weeks ago.
Both songs gave fans a taste of what’s coming. BLACK STAR drops this Friday. Set your reminders, charge your headphones, and prepare for a sound that’s about to shift culture again.
