Amaarae’s 'BLACK STAR' is a futuristic love letter to global youth culture!

Amaarae returns with her most ambitious and genre-defying project yet, 'BLACK STAR'. The internationally acclaimed artist blurs borders and styles once again, but this time with even greater force - offering a dazzling, high-energy blend of alt-pop, Afrobeats, house, baile funk, ghettotech, and more. With her signature softness and hypnotic delivery, she reimagines what global pop can sound like through a deeply Ghanaian lens.

Built as a sonic odyssey, 'BLACK STAR' is a cultural proclamation. Amaarae uses her Ghanaian roots not only as inspiration but as a springboard, connecting West African traditions to the club sounds of Detroit, São Paulo, and London. With standout collaborations from PinkPantheress, Naomi Campbell, Bree Runway, Starkillers, and Charlie Wilson, the album creates a borderless soundscape that invites youth everywhere to take pride in their roots while stepping boldly into the future.

Each track feels like a celebration and a challenge - pushing back against monolithic ideas of African music and identity. For Amaarae, this isn’t just a new chapter - it’s a full-circle moment. From recording in her mother’s home in Ghana to shaping a global sound that resonates with youth navigating identity, freedom, and expression.
