Amaarae - Fountain Baby

[Jonathan27]

Any love for Amaarae? Her debut album The Angel You Don't Know came out last week and I immediately fell in love. It's tight and chaotic, blending multiple genres to create a wonderfully eclectic and dynamic package.

I'm diving in.

Ooh chill calypso bops?
Yes.

Don't forget "LIKE IT" which isn't on the album and might be my favourite of her songs (unfortunately when I entered it into PJSC recently voters didn't agree with me!)



The album is great, and she's an exciting new voice in African pop generally, so I equally look forward to whatever she does next.

This is so great! It's pure breezy bliss and just goes by so quick and smoothly.

 

[Mr Blonde]

This album is so bizarre in the best way. I'm obsessed with Hellz Angel right now.

Just discovered this and I’m living. The way she serves those cooing baby vocals reminiscent of Grimes and Yolandi Visser but with greater finesse while traversing beats with fresh takes on reggae, R&B, and hip-hop... it’s a yes from me. Also giving me Aluna but less commercial? FANCY, SAD U BROKE MY HEART, and PARTY SAD FACE/CRAZY WURLD are making me bop the hardest on first listen but the whole album is fully worth listening to.

This is fantastic. I'm obsessed. Thank you so much for the recommendation @Jonathan27!

 

[Island]

I feel like a lot of this album sonically is what Aluna was trying to tackle in her album.
