Album by Ayra Starr

11 songs • 35 minutes • 2021

Ayra Starr’s debut album “19 & Dangerous” released in 2021, marked transformation from a promising newcomer to one of Afrobeats’ most distinct voices. It is a compelling coming-of-age record that marked  her journey from adolescence into young adulthood, and was released shortly after she turned 19. The album uses Afropop, R&B, and alté sounds to express to spirit of youth, ambition, and self-expression. Key themes explored throughout the album include self-confidence, betrayal, and heartbreak. Ayra Starr boldly addresses societal pressures with tracks like “Cast (Gen Z Anthem)” and “Bridgertn,” asserting her freedom and individuality. The album also delves into deeper, more vulnerable emotions with songs like “Lonely,” “Toxic,” and “In Between,” which touch on mental health struggles and the pain of lost love. The album is vibrant, introspective, and unapologetically feminine.
