Amaarae – Black Star

Black Star is the third studio album by Ghanaian-American artist Amaarae, released on August 8, 2025. It’s a dazzling celebration of Black diasporic dance music and self-expression, blending genres like house, techno, baile funk, highlife, amapiano, and soul into a frenetic, glamorous club record. With collaborators like PinkPantheress, Naomi Campbell, Bree Runway, Charlie Wilson, and Starkillers, the album pulses with hyper-stylized energy, rich cultural references, and playful nods to pop classics. Critics have described it as a hedonistic, indulgent, and exuberantly party-ready evolution of her sound—equal parts emotional ambition, sensual confidence, and unstoppable rhythm.
