Amaarae Unveils ‘Black Star’, The Follow-Up To Acclaimed ‘Fountain Baby’

Genre-defying Ghanaian-American artist Amaarae has today released her highly anticipated third studio album, Black Star. The project arrives as the official follow-up to her globally acclaimed 2023 masterpiece, Fountain Baby, setting expectations at an all-time high for the visionary singer and songwriter.

Titled Black Star—a powerful symbol of Ghanaian heritage and Black pride—the album is positioned as a bold and ambitious artistic statement. Continuing to push sonic boundaries, Amaarae weaves an eclectic tapestry of Afrobeats, alternative R&B, punk, and electronic pop, all held together by her signature ethereal vocals and sharp, introspective songwriting.

The release of Fountain Baby cemented Amaarae’s status as a true innovator in contemporary music, earning her widespread critical praise and a dedicated global fanbase. Black Star is set to build upon that legacy, further exploring themes of identity, desire, and artistic freedom in a way that is uniquely her own.

As one of the most anticipated releases of 2025, Black Star is more than just a new album; it is a significant cultural moment. The album is now available on all major streaming platforms worldwide.
