From red carpet glamour to studio magic, the collaboration we’ve all been waiting for is official. Angélique Kidjo has confirmed that Ayra Starr is the guest on her upcoming single, “Aye Kan (Are You Coming Back?)”, dropping this Friday. This track is the first taste of Kidjo’s 19th studio album, Hope!!, which also features Davido and The Cavemen.
Fans first caught wind of the potential collaboration earlier this year at the MusiCares Person of the Year gala in Los Angeles. Kidjo and Ayra Starr shared a memorable red carpet moment, Ayra in a champagne corset gown, that immediately set social media abuzz with hopes of a musical partnership. Now, those hopes are coming to life with a studio session full of energy, laughter, and undeniable chemistry.
For Ayra Starr, this collaboration adds to an already exciting year following her latest single, “Where Do We Go”, solidifying her status as one of Africa’s most thrilling new voices. For Kidjo, “Aye Kan” sets the stage for the upcoming Hope!! album, slated for release on 24 April, a project showcasing collaborations with global stars like Davido and The Cavemen.
Mark your calendars for Friday, 27 March, when “Aye Kan” drops, you’ll want this one on repeat.
