Amaarae releases new track "Co-Star" alongside details of her forthcoming album
Amaarae announces the release of her highly anticipated album, Fountain Baby, alongside the new single.
""Co-Star" is a fun song about star signs! I wanted to give people something cute and flirty for the summer! Astrology is such a huge part of our youth culture, it felt like a missed opportunity to not lean into that and give the girls an anthem that reads and celebrates them all at once!," Amaarae says of her latest release.
"The video is amazing too! Having some of my favorite women in the whole wide world represent themselves in such an iconic way. The Clermont Twins are such an iconic duo. Also Biba! Deto! Moyo! Bijou & Chi are such a huge part of alternative African culture. These are the tastemakers of our time! It’s really so amazing to bring them all together.”
Directed by Lauren Dunn, the accompanying video focuses on the song’s star signs theme with appearances from the Clermont Twins, Biba Williams, Nigerian rapper Deto Black, Lois Saunders, and Moyosore Briggs. This follows on from the previously released “Reckless & Sweet” which starred super model Leomie Anderson.
Fountain Baby follows Amaarae's 2020 debut THE ANGEL YOU DON’T KNOW.
"Co-Star" is out now. Amaarae's forthcoming album Fountain Baby will be released on 9 June via Interscope.
