Amaarae Announces New Album Fountain Baby, Shares Video for New Song: Watch

“Reckless & Sweet” is the first offering from the record, which is due this year via Interscope

Amaarae has announced that her new album will arrive later this year. Fountain Baby, which doesn’t currently have a concrete release date, will be released by Interscope. It features the lead single, “Reckless & Sweet,” which arrives today with a new video. Watch it below.

The video features Amaarae alongside models Leomie Anderson and Monyjok Ngor Deng. Of the new song, Amaarae said in a statement:

Coming back after so long, I had a lot of time to think and reflect on what I wanted my message to be last time it was about confidence, this time it’s about love and faith. This is my sexiest video to date, and what I love most about it is that young Black women and men are about to see what our new energy is for 2023 and beyond. Moving forward, we’re grown and sexy. We’re going to make sure we always look our best, talk our best, walk our best, and most of all we’re bringing love and romance back! “Reckless & Sweet” is a sexy song. It’s about being intentional with the ways we make and give love. It’s about finding the inner sensuality and confidence without yourself and sharing that with the world. As an artist that is exactly where I’m at at the moment.

The new album follows 2020’s The Angel You Don’t Know. Read Pitchfork’s interview “Get to Know Amaarae, Who’s Expanding the Sound of Afropop.”
