Ayra Starr - Bloody Samaritan (Live) | Vevo DSCVR Artists to Watch 2023

Ayra Starr - Bloody Samaritan - Live Performance | Vevo DSCVR Artists To Watch 2023
As if manifested by her twinkling surname, Ayra Starr seems destined for the spotlight. Growing up between Lagos and Cotonou, Benin (which are separated by country borders but only 125kms apart), young Ayra feasted on a musical diet of Rihanna, Shakira, gospel, and the first wave of Afrobeats. “I come from a very musical household. My uncle was very musical, my grandad played guitar, my mum used to do reggae when she was younger,” recalls the now 20-year-old, whose creative team mirrors another Artist To Watch alum: Billie Eilish. Like the “bad guy” singer, Starr’s brother is her writing and production partner, and her mother is her biggest champion. Both young women also share a penchant for being unfiltered. “F**k society/F**k you wannabes/F**k your hypocrisy,” Starr jabs on “Ase,” from her debut album ‘19 & Dangerous.’ It was released last August on Mavin Records, which has been home to Rema and Tiwa Savage. As the story goes, in 2019 Mavin head honcho Don Jazzy was in her DM’s an hour after she posted a song tribute to her late father. Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, and NME have also fallen for her intoxicating blend of Afrosoul, R&B and West African pop. High fives were likely passed around when the Nigerian songbird’s fem-empowered “Rush” surpassed 20 million views less than a month after its release this fall; she directed it. That incisive voice of hers was right upfront during her ATW performance of the track, which is yet another addition to her bulging trophy case. Same too with a live whirl of her biggest track to date, “Bloody Samaritan.” What else is there to say: Ayra’s a star.

This is giving Sade vibes. 🎯 Sade for a new generation 💯 what a blessing ❤️

[@nma_25]

Sade is Nigerian so it's safe to say that it's giving Nigerian vibes 💕

[@clevergirl6041]

@@nma_25 PLEASE 🎯 don't put words in my mouth. I don't have to mention the fact that Sade is Nigerian just like this girl is... 🤦🏽 Sade is well-known around the world, and half of the people who like Sade don't even know she's Nigerian... so I didn't choose to say it's giving Nigerian vibes 🤷🏾‍♀️I chose to say it's giving Sade vibes because not everyone knows that Sade is Nigerian. I don't have to formulate my conversation the same way you would, SO stay in your lane. I don't need your help conveying the message that I want to convey 😁
