Amaarae - präsentiert von Rausgegangen

Ama Serwah Geneva, aka Amaarae, not only has a voice, charisma and a million good ideas - she also has a mission. The Ghanaian-born musician says, "I want all the cool women in the world to listen to this music!" If this keeps up, it might just work. Her 2020 hit "SAD GIRLZ LUV MONEY" feat. Moliy from debut album "The Angel You Don't Know" went viral two years ago as a remix with a Kali Uchis feature and has garnered nearly 225 million streams on Spotify alone. With the track "A Body, A Coffin," Amaarae was also involved in the soundtrack to the blockbuster "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever." She is currently preparing her fans for the release of her second album "Fountain Baby". Her sound is often described as a melange of R&B, soul, Afrobeat and the fusion genre alté. But Amaarae has legitimate objections about being pigeonholed in any particular way. She says in a recent interview, "I feel like it's extremely damaging to African artist:es to put everything we do in the Afrobeats category. There is so much creativity, experimentation and nuance in different types of artist:es. The only way for us to move forward is to define our music ourselves." In any case, the already released singles "Reckless & Sweet" and "Co-Star" refuse to be categorized into just one genre.

Amaarae will present her new album "Fountain Baby" live on September 13 at an exclusive Germany show at Berlin's Lido.
