Ghanian-American artist Amaarae delivered a jewel of a debut album in 2020 with The Angel You Don't Know, an infectious album of alté-pop so memorable it landed on our annual Best Songs of the Year list twice in a row: once in 2020 with "Fancy" and again the following year for the Kali Uchis-featuring "Sad Girlz Luv Money" remix that conquered TikTok and racked up hundreds of millions of streams. Today, Amaarae is sharing the details of her sophomore album Fountain Baby: it's coming June 9, and today you can hear its latest single "Co-Star." Serene harp melodies, a boisterous Afrobeat, and Amaarae's commanding falsetto all drive “Co-Star” through its witty celebration of star signs and their romantic compatibility.

It sounds 1970s, but there are drum machines, there are guitars but they’re singing in Arabic…what’s going on?”Greenwood discussed how the project compared to another past collaboration with an Israeli singer, Shye Ben Tzur, saying: “‘Jarak Qaribak’ presented a similar set of problems, in that you have all these scales which don’t conform to western major/minor scales, and have notes which involve quarter-tones, and it’s very hard to impose a chord sequence on these melodies.
