Ama Serwah Geneva, aka Amaarae, not only
has a voice, charisma and a million good
ideas - she also has a mission. The
Ghanaian-born musician says, "I want all the
cool women in the world to listen to this
music!"


If this keeps up, it might just work. Her 2020 hit "SAD GIRLZ LUV MONEY" feat. Moliy from debut album "The Angel You Don't Know" went viral two years ago as a remix with a Kali Uchis feature and has reached nearly 225 million streams on Spotify. With the track "A Body, A Coffin," Amaarae was also involved in the soundtrack to the blockbuster "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever." She is currently preparing her fans for the release of her second album "Fountain Baby".

Her sound is often described as a melange of R&B, soul, Afrobeat and the fusion genre alté. But Amaarae has legitimate objections about being pigeonholed in any particular way. She says in a recent interview, "I feel like it's extremely damaging to African artists to put everything we do in the Afrobeats category. There is so much creativity, experimentation and nuance in different types of artists. The only way for us to move forward is to define our music ourselves." In any case, the already released singles "Reckless & Sweet" and "Co- Star" refuse to be categorized into just one genre.

Amaarae will present her new album "Fountain Baby" live on September 13 at an exclusive Germany show at Berlin's Lido.
