Amaarae has shared a new single from Black Star, the Fountain Baby follow-up arriving next month. “Girlie-Pop!” comes with a sensual video directed by Omar Jones. Check it out below.
In a press release, Amaarae said, “‘Girlie-Pop!’ started as a freestyle over an open guitar on a magical night in Brazil! I wanted to make a song that embodies the feeling of a kiss from your favorite person in the world. We all dream of finding that one person who sends us into the stars with just a smile and peck on the lips! The Black Star album is all about fun and fantasy! I want ‘Girlie-Pop!’ to be the soundtrack for when you sit and day dream about your crush.”
Black Star arrives August 8, via Interscope, and also features the Ghanaian highlife–inspired single “S.M.O.” Last year, Amaarae released a stopgap EP, Roses Are Red, Tears Are Blue — A Fountain Baby Extended Play.
