Ayra Starr Tells Apple Music How She Subverts Expectations

I always try to surprise even myself, with my moves, to be honest. It can be annoying, because everybody’s like, “Ayra, we expect you to go this way,” but I get bored very easily, and I hate being perceived in a way that people think they know my next move. It’s chess for me; I always want to try something different.

Ayra Starr Tells Apple Music About Developing Her Distinctive Voice

I’ve always had the voice I have now—even my talking voice would be very deep as a child. When I was in the choir, my choirmaster couldn’t believe my voice was like that. He’d tell me, “You’re a lady! Try to sign in soprano.” I was like, “What?! I can’t sing in soprano—this is my voice!” It’s been[an] on-and-off thing, but I’ve always known my voice and the sound of it has always been unique.

Ayra Starr Tells Apple Music About Her Asake Collab, “Goodbye (Warm Up)”

I was in the studio with [producer] P2J. He was like, “I have this song; I don’t know if you’re going to like it,” because he’d had it for a long time and he [wasn’t] sure about it. Every time I hear somebody say they’re not sure about a song, I just automatically love the song, because it feels like a challenge—if you don’t like it, I’m gonna make you love this song.

I was obsessed with this song. I remember I travelled to Zimbabwe the next day [after recording], and I was playing it everywhere. Everywhere I went, I was listening to it. This was even before Asake’s verse. Asake’s verse made it so perfect.

Ayra Starr Tells Apple Music About Her Anitta & Coco Jones Collab, “Woman Commando”

“Woman Commando” is one of my favourite tracks that I’ve ever made. The energy of it—it feels influenced by every African genre I grew up listening to. I remember when I first made this song in the studio, I was like, “I want two other girls on this song, because I don’t want to be the only one saying ‘Woman Commando’. I want three young women just killing it.”

I already had Coco Jones’ verse—I sent Coco an R&B track and she said, “Ayra… I want to be on your vibe.” Say less! I sent her the [“Woman Commando”] track; Coco sent me a verse in a week and I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. She held her own so much, like she didn’t feel the need to come into my vibe. She just held her own American beauty, she was just so amazing on that track. Anitta was the last verse of the album to come in. When it came in I was like, “Thank god, guys. I’ve blown! I’ve made it.”

Ayra Starr Tells Apple Music About Her GIVĒON Collab, “Last Heartbreak Song”

That song is so perfect. One of the songs that I’ve made that I’m just so proud of. You know me and GIVĒON were talking about it and we were like, “This song is giving melancholy, but at the same time it’s giving like… I’ll be good.” It’s also kind of inspiring, even though it’s so sad and sombre. It feels good to love somebody and somebody loves you back, but this feels one-sided now… you know, it’s so heartbreaking but it’s so inspiring because it’s fine—I’ll be better on my own. I’ll be good. I feel like GIVĒON’s verse—I couldn’t have got a more perfect verse. When I heard it, I was crying. I was in the car and I couldn’t believe what I was listening to. I had to re-record my verse, because he ate too much!

Next-rated Dancehall Sensation, Biggbone has officially released his latest song dubbed “Fast and Furious.”

The Dancehall record is a warning shot to the whole world of the impending badness, energy and sui generis style that Biggbone possesses.

Known for energetic stage performances, Biggbone replicates the same vitality with unparalleled ragga vibes throughout the song.

On “Fast and Furious,” Biggbone’s delivery is thunderous, inflamed and symbolic of the genre’s jagged soundscape.

In a true Dancehall spirit, Biggbone drifts freely on the fast tempo track with brazen lyrical content.

The song’s pulse coupled with the recurring unifying idea of pushing against all odds to announce one’s greatness is infectious.

The latter, according to Biggbone, was the fuel for the entire record.

“This new single is me telling all those who believed in my talent or otherwise, that I am coming with full force musically,” he told Amplify Ghana pre-release.

He also assured his fans of more singles with a possible EP and album all within this year.

Biggbone is on course to awaken the pre-covid hard-core Dancehall era in Ghana with this new song and subsequent projects.

There is more to expect from the camp of Biggbone under his current record label and management team: Goldgang Music, Purebadnez Music and Yardie Recording Academy.

“Fast and Furious” was produced, mixed and mastered by the talented Jay Scratch.

It’s a fast-moving train, hop on “Fast and Furious” by streaming the song here.

Mark your calendars for May 31st, because that’s when Wiyaala kicks off her eleven-week tune typhoon, releasing a new single every Friday until August 9th, 2024.

Now, we couldn’t resist a little sleuthing. Was this a clever ruse to snag the spotlight? “No way,” says Wiyaala’s manager, John Sherren, with a chuckle. “We’re just clearing the decks in Wiyaala’s song vault before her third studio album drops in the second half of the year—assuming we can get all our ducks in a row,” quips the ex-stockbroker.

And get this: nestled among the new nuggets of sound is a spicy reimagining of her ever-popular banger “Rock My Body,” dubbed the “Binary Remix,” set to sizzle speakers on June 21st.

The award winning “Lioness of Africa” has had a whirlwind year, marked by her 2023 European tour and performances for notable figures including Kamala Harris, the Vice President of the USA, and the Presidents of Ghana and Italy. Wiyaala has also graced the stage at the Africa Games in Accra and invested in her artistic legacy by establishing the Lioness Kingdom in Funsi. This creative oasis spans two hectares and boasts 16 guest rooms, a restaurant, a recording studio, and two stages, one of which is the Wiyaala Arts Centre.

Wiyaala’s dynamic presence extends beyond the African continent, as she has recently been sighted in the UK en route to Slovenia where she will kick off a summer season of European performances. Fans are eagerly awaiting the announcement of her upcoming tour dates. Stay tuned for more updates on this powerhouse artist’s journey.
