Grammy-nominated Nigerian singer and songwriter, Ayra Starr, has described her forthcoming studio album as a deeply personal project that reflects her growth into womanhood, both in life and musically.
The 23-year-old Afrobeats star, who made an appearance on Apple Music Radio Takeover show, talked about her life and music growth, experimenting with new sounds, and pushing herself creatively without being afraid of failure.
“I’m literally becoming a woman, and it’s like you can hear that in my music now, like I’m growing sonically and I want to try different things, like just put myself out there, and having fun while doing it.
“I kind of lost the plot a bit, and I took it a bit too seriously, and it was never that deep,” the artiste said.
