Album: BLACK STAR Album by Amaarae

Black Star is the bold, genre-bending third studio album by Ghanaian-American singer and songwriter Amaarae, following her acclaimed 2023 release Fountain Baby. 

With this project, Amaarae embraces a dazzling and dance-heavy sound, blending multiple Black diasporic music styles into a cohesive, club-ready experience. 

The album’s title is a layered “triple entendre,” symbolizing Ghana’s national emblem, her own self-perception as a global Black artist, and the rich musical heritage of the African and African-diasporic dance tradition.

Black Star isn’t just an album — it’s a cultural statement. Amaarae has crafted a sonic space where African and diasporic music traditions meet the global dance floor. It’s proof that African artists can innovate within pop and electronic music while staying rooted in heritage. 

The record’s energy, ambition, and visual artistry make it one of 2025’s most significant releases.
