In her new single "Superstar," Beckah Amani delivers an alternative afro pop anthem that champions self-worth and the need to be truly seen. The track embodies Beckah's quest for something lasting, with lyrics that explore the delicate balance between protecting your heart and risking the loss of meaningful connections. Co-produced by Beckah and Conor Lawson (Adrian Dzvuke), with additional production by The Imports (Beyoncé, Tkay Maidza), the song features genre-defying energy, seamlessly intertwining Afrobeat rhythms with an underlying dance sample. Beckah’s raw, vulnerable vocals ground the mix, creating a striking contrast that evokes both the thrill of possibility and the earnest anxiety of uncertainty.
Over the past year and a half, Beckah has lived between London and Australia, with short trips to LA, tapping into the creative scenes of these places to craft a rich and sonically diverse body of work that will shape her next era. Collaborating with a high caliber of producers, writers, and musicians such as Jakwob, MPhazes, Rory Noble, The Imports, Alice Ivy, and Femi Koleoso from Ezra Collective, Beckah expresses her love for pop, afro, and indie soul. In this new era, she writes lyrics that are intimately personal yet widely resonant, drawing on deeply personal topics like heartbreak and identity, creating a space for listeners to feel seen.
