Amaarae is getting ready to turn heads once again with the release of her third studio album, “Black Star”.
The new project marks the final chapter in a trilogy that has seen the Ghanaian-American star steadily carve out her own lane in global music—blending cultures, bending genres, and staying true to her vibrant, unconventional sound.
The 12-track project is fronted by the electrifying single “S.M.O.,” a seductive blend of 1980s Ghanaian highlife, Detroit club bass, zouk, and shimmering steel-pan rhythms—all carried by Amaarae’s signature silky vocals.
Shot in Ghana by director Omar Jones, the accompanying video mirrors the song’s confident, celebratory energy and cultural richness.
With “Black Star”, Amaarae cements her place as a boundary-pushing force in global music, promising a vibrant, genre-defying experience. The album is slated for release on Friday, August 8, 2025.
