Ghanaian musician Amaarae has made her debut on NPR’s popular Tiny Desk Concert.

The concert, released on Thursday, on NPR’s Youtube page, saw the talented vocalist perform seven songs - five from her critically acclaimed ‘Fountain Baby’ and two from her debut ‘The Angel You Don’t Know’.

They are ‘Reckless & Sweet’, ‘Wasted Eyes’, ‘Disguise’, ‘Big Steppa’, ‘Co-Star’, ‘HELLZ ANGEL’, ‘SAD GIRLZ LUV MONEY’.

Commenting on Amaarae’s performance producer for Tiny Desk, Sidney Madden, wrote that Amaarae’s appearance on NPR Music’s Black Music Month lineup proves how far the sounds of West Africa have stretched to influence the U.S. 

He added that Fountain Baby, the album from which she performs a majority of the songs has “an overflowing stream of genre-swerving liquid dopamine, lulling and surprising its listener in waves.”

“Pulling influence from a grab bag of global incantations, Amaarae makes African percussion flirt with baile funk and alté, pop punk and garage, resulting in one of most triumphant albums and Tiny Desk Concerts of 2023 so far.”
