The audaciousness is what grips you-while you're taken in by the beautiful, rhythmic fuji melodies, you're then hit with Starr's bold vocals and lines like 'I run up blocks, I run 'em myself' and 'I don't watch my tone cause I like how I sound, bitch.' This swagger is well earned.
Starr's distinctively luxurious alto discovered by record producer Don Jazzy via Instagram in 2019 led to her 2022 breakout single 'Rush' garnering over 370m Spotify streams and a Grammy nomination. Her new album made her the first female Nigerian artist to debut on the Billboard 200.
Ayra Starr's rise in the music industry represents a broader trend of young female singers from Africa like Tems and Tyla, inspiring many young girls and showcasing the talent of women from the continent.
