One of the most anticipated music release weeks is here, and of course Nigerian pop star Ayra Starr is at the forefront of this moment. Her third album Starrgirl officially released today, and social media has been buzzing ever since. The 16-track project features a blend of Nigerian and international acts including Wizkid, Rema, Kwn, Zayn, and more. From reports online, it appears the pop star has scored a hat trick with this project.

Having teased his next era with a single, Prince of Afrobeats, Rema is doubling down on his feature run. This time, American trap artist Trippie Redd calls him on their romance-inspired track, “For Her.” Benin-bred rapper Famous Pluto arrives with his first official drop for the year, a 3-pack EP On My Birthday. Likewise for Bella Shumurda, who resumes the year with a new release, “Happy Song.”

Following his commercially successful debut EP Before We Became Strangers, singer Kunmie arrives with his debut album 22. The coming-of-age album features artists including Wizard Chan, Zlatan, and Joeboy. Singer-songwriter Amma continues with her soulful hopeless-romantic ballads on her latest single, “Break Me Down.” While Grammy-nominated singer Omah Lay is featured on the Afro version of “Gut Genug” by KITSCHKRIEG, Blumengarten, alongside 255.

Paying a tribute to her late husband, Niniola immerses the pain of the loss in the new single, “Raining (o dun mi).
