Amaarae’s Black Star Is a Galactic Pop Feast — Hyped, Hedonistic & Homegrown

The Ghanaian alté icon turns her third album into a clubbed fantasy — a sonic runway you never knew you needed.

Amaarae’s Black Star isn’t just an album — it’s a neon-lit declaration of freedom, confidence, and cultural pride. From the first beat, she blurs amapiano, highlife, Eurodance, baile funk, and Jersey club into something that feels both intimate and intergalactic. Every track pulses with the joy of someone who knows exactly where she’s going — and the power of her orbit. It’s a body of work drenched in hedonism and self-possession, carrying the DNA of the diaspora while beaming out pure, unfiltered glamour.

Where Fountain Baby was sleek and introspective, Black Star bursts with color and kinetic energy. Guest spots from Naomi Campbell, PinkPantheress, and Charlie Wilson only heighten the drama, but Amaarae remains the center of gravity — playful, sensual, and untouchably in control. Whether you’re on the dance floor at 2 a.m. or daydreaming with headphones on, Black Star doesn’t just soundtrack the moment — it owns it.

Black Star is the album that makes the club feel like home and the spotlight feel like skin. Amaarae didn’t just level up — she leveled entire cities. We’re not dancing... we’re orbiting.
