“‘Co-Star’ is a fun song about star signs,” Amaarae wrote in a press statement. “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! 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.“
The album is a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, with Amaarae fearlessly embracing her identity and celebrating her individuality as she is signed to Interscope Music.
Her lyrics are honest, introspective, and at times, playfully provocative, painting a vivid picture of her personal experiences and emotions. Amaarae’s storytelling prowess shines through, allowing listeners to connect with her on a deep and personal level.
The production on “Fountain Baby” is nothing short of exceptional, with Amaarae enlisting a team of talented producers to create a rich and textured sound. Each track is meticulously crafted, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail that has become synonymous with Amaarae’s artistry.
