Amaarae has returned with her highly anticipated second album, "Fountain Baby," released on June 9th, 2023. With a smooth, enchanting, and angelic voice that first captured attention on Cruel Santino's "Rapid Fire," Amaarae's musical evolution has been an exciting journey to follow. From her debut EP, "Passionfruit Summers," in 2017, she has collaborated with industry heavyweights such as Kaytraminé, Janelle Monáe, Stormzy, Kali Uchis, CKay, and Tiwa Savage. Her artistic endeavors have spanned diverse platforms, including appearances at Boiler Room Ghana, Colors Show, contributions to the Black Panther soundtrack, and performances at renowned festivals like We Love Green and Pitchfork. At just 28 years old, the American-Ghanaian artist continues to impress with her eclecticism, talent, and audacity.
Amaarae's music is unparalleled and defies classification. She effortlessly blends and fuses various styles and influences, reflecting her experiences living in New York, Atlanta, New Jersey, Accra, and London. By incorporating elements of pop, R&B, alté, garage, hip-hop, rap, trap, Nigerian highlife, soul, baile funk, afrobeats, punk, and rock, Amaarae fearlessly experiments, creating her distinct musical identity.
Amaarae's 14-track album delves into themes of female empowerment, sexuality, self-discovery, success, independence, and artistic creativity. Notably, her work also embraces the recurring theme of non-binary identity, which holds a significant place within her music.
The album has received widespread acclaim, particularly in the British media and across the African continent. It achieved remarkable chart positions on Apple Music, reaching number 2 in Ghana, number 3 in Sierra Leone, number 5 in Nigeria, number 7 in Kenya, and number 9 in Uganda.

This accomplishment is truly iconic, considering the challenges Amaarae faces due to her public stance, confidence, and expressive style. It is worth noting that her music has faced some misunderstanding in Ghana, a country where an anti-LGBTQ+ bill was proposed in 2021, leading her to question her audience's support just a few months ago.
As a singer-songwriter, producer, and sound engineer, Amaarae exhibits her exceptional versatility. She has even established her own independent label, Golden Child Entertainment Ltd, based in Ghana. Amaarae is a rare, genuine, and inspiring talent who has also captured the attention of the fashion world, earning recognition from Vogue or Mugler more recently.
Don't miss the opportunity to experience Amaarae live as she takes the stage in Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin, and London in September and Texas in October!
