Jonny Greenwood announces new album ‘Jarak Qaribak’ with Israeli musician Dudu Tassa

Ghanian-American artist Amaarae delivered a jewel of a debut album in 2020 with The Angel You Don't Know, an infectious album of alté-pop so memorable it landed on our annual Best Songs of the Year list twice in a row: once in 2020 with "Fancy" and again the following year for the Kali Uchis-featuring "Sad Girlz Luv Money" remix that conquered TikTok and racked up hundreds of millions of streams. Today, Amaarae is sharing the details of her sophomore album Fountain Baby: it's coming June 9, and today you can hear its latest single "Co-Star." Serene harp melodies, a boisterous Afrobeat, and Amaarae's commanding falsetto all drive “Co-Star” through its witty celebration of star signs and their romantic compatibility.
