Amaarae has shared another new song from her upcoming album, Fountain Baby. Following “Reckless & Sweet,” she’s shared a music video for the new single “Co-Star.” Directed by Lauren Dunn, the video centers on the song’s star signs theme with appearances from the Clermont Twins, Biba Williams, Nigerian rapper Deto Black, Lois Saunders, and Moyosore Briggs. Watch it below.
“I wanted to give people something cute and flirty for the summer,” Amaarae said in a statement. “Astrology is such a huge part of our youth culture, it felt like a missed opportunity to not lean into that and give the girls an anthem that reads and celebrates them all at once! The video is amazing too! Having some of my favorite women in the whole wide world represent themselves in such an iconic way.”
Fountain Baby is out June 9 via Interscope. It follows 2020’s The Angel You Don’t Know.
