  Amaarae dishes on her sophomore album Fountain Baby & announces her new Tour!

  By Perry Johnson

  Amaarae, the Ghanaian American singer-songwriter, has dropped one of the hottest albums of the Summer (literally) with bangers such as “Princess Going Digital” and Fan Favorite “Co-Star”. We celebrate our Rebel Music Issue starring Amaarae, who has just performed at the 2023 MTV VMA Pre-show. Tik-tok users have already created dozens of dances that one (me) simply couldn’t keep up with, Amaarae’s hard-hitting beats will escape you into her earth that is Fountain Baby. “I wish every cool lady in the entire world to long for to play this music,” Amaarae declares, defining the coolest people as the risk-takers and the future-seekers, who dare and predict and challenge whether they have a million followers or a hundred. 10 seconds into the intro of Fountain Infant, you’re already gripped and transported to somewhere distinct, unexpected, and distant. The Eastern-infused, soaring orchestral introduction of ‘Moametal’, makes clear her unpredictable yet global ambitions from the jump. “I wanted it to sense like a worldly album that takes inspirat
  
  

  Amaarae Keeps It Reckless and Sweet

  Though Amaarae has been blessing her fans with features throughout the last two years, everyone and I mean everyone, has been anticipating her second studio album. Her first full-length project, The Angel You Don't Know, cemented her separate and unwavering voice as a rockstar who loves money, sex, and fun. Climbing Billboard charts with her remixed song, "Sad Girlz Luv Money," featuring Molly and Kali Uchis, the TikTok hit became an anthem for not only hot girls but queer hot girls, an unabashed acceptance of her identity. 

  If you've followed Amaarae's career for the last several years, her culture and sexual expression have not been shied away from. However, they have been a defining aspect of her artistry as of late. Today, her unattached, "Reckless and Sweet," accompanied by a hot and heavy melody video, further her embrace of sexual tantalization, where models Leomie Anderson and Monyjok Ngor Deng are positioned around her, a seduction of the camera. Sexual fluidity floods the luminous sky video, shadowed, making it visible gender does not sway attraction but rather fuels it. Amaarae states, "This is my sexiest video to date, and

  Amaarae Details New Album 'Black Star,' Shares Music Video for "S.M.O."

  Ghanian-American singer-songwriter Amaarae has detailed the follow-up to her 2023 record Fountain Baby. Black Celebrity is scheduled to release August 8 via Interscope. 

  She has also shared the record's lead unattached "S.M.O.," a footpath that "unearths themes of sexual liberation and empowerment." It arrives a morning after Juneteenth, and its music video — which was filmed in Ghana — is a celebration of the "beauty and influence of the Jet body." 

  Speaking of the new single, Amaarae shared, "For as long as I've made music, fusion has been my strength and I think this comes to full fruition on 'S.M.O.' The song takes inspiration from Ghanaian '80s highlife trailblazer Ata Kak and blends it with a mean Detroit club bass, drum roll akin to both Magic System's '1er Gaou' and Michael Jackson's 'Rock with You' and an infectious zouk melody that sounds enjoy a steel pan lipsing [sic] an evil synth." 

  She continued, "I feel enjoy the new Donna Summer mixed with Control era Janet, and the anthem pretty much speaks for itself. Fancy 'Pleasure Principle' or 'Love to Devote You Baby,' I don't know
