████ the-angel-you-dont-know-explicit-13219226 ████
████ ████
████ Pitchfork: ████
████ ████
████ With a distinctive singing voice and confidence ████
████ in spades, the breakout Afropop star swoops ████
████ through a pacesetting fusion of alte, R&B, ████
████ Southern rap, mall-rock, and Top 40 pop. ████
████ ████
████ Amaarae has a voice like a cracked-open ████
████ chestnut shell; it can be as silky as its ████
████ interior, as unforgiving as its spines. On ████
████ ôHellz Angel,ö a highlight from the Ghanaian- ████
████ American artistÆs omnivorous debut album The ████
████ Angel You DonÆt Know, she lattices smoke-wisp ████
████ intonations before sharpening them into rapped ████
████ barbs. In a spectacular flip into double-time, ████
████ she raps over busted fairground synths, ôI ████
████ donÆt make songs/Bitch I make memories.ö She ████
████ canÆt resist following up with a gag: ôI donÆt ████
████ like thongs/Cuz they ride up in jeans.ö ████
████ ████
████ She is a nonchalant kind of auteur. Yet The ████
████ Angel You DonÆt Know crackles with innovation, ████
████ a pacesetter at a time when industry bigwigs ████
████ are waking up to the long-held truth that ████
████ Africa is setting the global tempo for pop ████
████ music. AmaaraeÆs music bears the Afro-fusion ████
████ influences of NigeriaÆs free-spirited alte ████
████ scene, as well as Western genres from mall-rock ████
████ to Southern rap, sultry R&B, and glossy Top 40: ████
████ disparate musical styles that soundtrack ████
████ AmaaraeÆs own life. Born Ama Serwah Genfi, she ████
████ is based in Accra but has lived in the Bronx, ████
████ Atlanta, and suburban New Jersey, where Britney ████
████ SpearsÆ eccentric masterpiece Blackout blew her ████
████ mind as a teen. While Ghanaian friends once ████
████ advised her to stick to Afrobeats or hiplife to ████
████ succeed in the country, she was firm that ████
████ diasporic living enriched her art and, smartly, ████
████ resisted narrowing its scope. In lesser hands, ████
████ The Angel You DonÆt KnowÆs wide embrace of ████
████ genre could feel like a mash-up, or a crafty ████
████ amalgam of trending styles. Yet with her ████
████ distinctive arid singing voice and close work ████
████ with producers like KZ and Rvdical the Kid, ████
████ AmaaraeÆs freewheeling confidence and singular ████
████ point of view allows her to swoop through ████
████ sounds, light as air. ████
████ ████
████ She embraces character with enthusiasm, gliding ████
████ between subjectivities with the same ease that ████
████ she flips between American English and Ghanian ████
████ and Nigerian dialect. On ôTrust Fund Babyöù ████
████ which sounds like MiguelÆs slinky ôHow Many ████
████ Drinks?ö stripped to its skeletonùAmaarae plays ████
████ a spoiled brat taunting a pathetic lover who ████
████ needs the ôprivilegeö of WAP like an addict ████
████ craves their next hit. The Afropop-leaning ████
████ ôJumping Shipö is an occasion for some ████
████ righteous male objectification. ôHottie, youÆre ████
████ an item I wanna pay for,ö she sings in a ████
████ murmured falsetto, as picked guitars hit like ████
████ sun through slotted blinds. You can hear the ████
████ lusty twinkle in her eye. ████
████ ████
████ Amaarae describes The Angel You DonÆt Know as ████
████ ônon stop affirmations and incantations 4 bad ████
████ bitches.ö Her tongue-in-cheek side brings ████
████ dazzle to the recordÆs light-hearted moments, ████
████ particularly on Afropop anthem ôSad Girlz Luv ████
████ Moneyö (featuring Moliy), a waist-winding ████
████ anthem about securing the ômooh-la-laö thatÆs ████
████ far more joyous than its title suggests. More ████
████ imaginative still is ôDazed and Abused in ████
████ Beverly Hills,ö 68 seconds of indie soul that ████
████ enjoyably parodies (and one-ups) the SZA ████
████ knockoffs making Shazam-bait for cable-TV ████
████ syncs. Another track is punctuated by a ████
████ ringtone and a scream, and the album is ████
████ bookended by thrilling snippets of hardcore ████
████ punk, with shredding by L.A. artist Gothic ████
████ Tropic. ████
████ ████
████ Amaarae is private about her sexuality, but she ████
████ dropped hints to her romantic life on the 2017 ████
████ single ôFluid,ö from that yearÆs R&B-leaning ████
████ Passionfruit Summers EP, and featured drag ████
████ queen pole dancers in another of her videos. ████
████ These days sheÆs even more upfront, and ████
████ rightfully heedless of gender norms. ôI like it ████
████ when you call me zaddy,ö she purrs over 808s on ████
████ ôFancy,ö sounding like a soft butch poster girl ████
████ looking for fresh meat. The video is a ████
████ collagist tribute to seductive hits and her ████
████ punk favorites, from JLoÆs proto-OnlyFans ████
████ camming to a Dream Wife body horror to the ████
████ bright wigs and office furniture of City GirlsÆ ████
████ ôPussy Talk.ö ItÆs the rare moment in AmaaraeÆs ████
████ world that doesnÆt feel wholly self-created; ████
████ even then, her authorial voice is clear. In one ████
████ set-up referencing Missy ElliotÆs ôSheÆs a ████
████ Bitch,ö Amaarae wears a black leather bodysuit ████
████ dotted with cowrie shells, the pre-colonial ████
████ West African currency that is central to Yoruba ████
████ rituals, pairing pop imagery with a touch of ████
████ the divine. ████
████ ████
████ But even bad bitches get the blues. On the ████
████ purple-hued album closer ôParty Sad Face,ö ████
████ sheÆs stuck at a predictable party and fed up. ████
████ ôWhole lotta gang shit/Peng tings looking out ████
████ of sight,ö she whisper-sings, sounding helpless ████
████ and sad. She fucks to fill the void, with alte ████
████ star Odunsi (The Engine) breaking his usual ████
████ charmer routine for an unsettling turn as an ████
████ abusive hook-up. ôIÆm down,ö she sings numbly, ████
████ ambiguously. ôDown for the night.ö Amaarae said ████
████ that she left the darkest songs off this album, ████
████ butùunless she went full Diamanda Galas ████
████ elsewhereùitÆs hard to imagine a more vivid ████
████ descent into emotional oblivion. ████
████ ████
████ Beyond her chameleonic roleplay, AmaaraeÆs ████
████ humble roots are obviousùshe dreams of the day ████
████ she can buy her mom a Bentley. On the ████
████ dancehall-leaning ôLeave Me Alone,ö she affirms ████
████ her own worth with the calm of a zen master, ████
████ singing, among bright and balmy guitars, ôAll ████
████ the diamonds in the world donÆt outshine me.ö ████
████ Her polyphonic approach to experimental pop ████
████ brings to mind author and DJ Jace ClaytonÆs ████
████ description of pan-global music in the digital ████
████ age as a ômemory palace with room for everybody ████
████ inside.ö Amaarae puts metabolized sounds ████
████ through a distinctive prism, hitting on an ████
████ insight: ThereÆs room in the palace for her. ████
