Amaarae Drops Passionate New Single ‘Girlie-Pop!’
Ghanaian-American singer is back with a new sultry banger from her upcoming album BLACK STAR.
Amaarae’s new single Girlie-Pop! plays like a fantasy brought to life — breezy, sensual, and completely wrapped in the feeling of infatuation.
According to her, the track began as a freestyle over an open guitar one night in Brazil, where inspiration struck in the most effortless way. The goal? To capture the emotional rush of being kissed by the one person who lights you up — that dizzy, floating feeling we’ve all daydreamed about.
Girlie-Pop! reflects the larger themes of her upcoming album BLACK STAR — a world rooted in fantasy, pleasure, and playful escape. It’s a soundtrack for crushes, for late-night text messages, for staring out of a car window lost in thought. Amaarae wanted this track to feel like a daydream with a beat, and she’s succeeded.
The accompanying music video, directed by Omar Jones, amplifies that dreamy energy — a vibrant, beat-heavy vision of what happens when chemistry takes over. It’s more vibe than narrative, pulsing with color and intimacy, much like the music itself.
With BLACK STAR arriving on August 8, Girlie-Pop! stands as one of its most inviting entry points — a bold mix of Alté, underground African styles, and club-ready production that only Amaarae could pull off.
