Ayra Starr has released her highly anticipated sophomore album titled “The Year I Turned 21.
“This album, which dropped on May 31, 2024, represents a significant milestone in the Gen Z singer-songwriter’s career. It showcases her most personal storytelling to date and delves into themes of growth, love, heartbreak, and self-realization, reflecting the artistic maturity Ayra Starr has gained over the past year.
The album features a range of tracks that blend and bridge genres including Afrobeats, Alte, R&B, and more. It includes the hit single “Commas,” which has surpassed 100 million streams and topped the UK Afrobeats Chart for five weeks.
Other notable tracks include “Rhythm & Blues” and “Lagos Love Story,” highlighting her ability to get lost in love, and “Control,” which offers a seductive mix of summery guitars and rhythms reminiscent of Shakira’s “Hips Don’t Lie.” “The Year I Turned 21” is available for streaming on all platforms.
