Exciting Collaboration: Angélique Kidjo and Ayra Starr Announce New Single 'Aye Kan'

The collaboration that fans have eagerly awaited is finally happening! After a memorable moment on the red carpet in Los Angeles, five-time Grammy Award recipient Angélique Kidjo has confirmed that Ayra Starr is featured on her upcoming single, ‘Aye Kan,’ which is set to be released this Friday. This track marks the initial offering from Kidjo's 19th studio album, 'Hope!!', a project featuring notable artists like Davido and The Cavemen.

Kidjo shared this exciting news on social media, showcasing behind-the-scenes glimpses of their studio experience. She mentioned that they had a fantastic time creating the track, and their joyful dancing in the video certainly reflects that.

This partnership has been highly anticipated since the two artists initially sparked excitement among fans earlier this year during the MusiCares Person of the Year gala in Los Angeles. Their stylish appearance on the red carpet, with Ayra in a stunning champagne corset gown, led many to hope for a musical collaboration, which has now come to fruition.

For Ayra Starr, this collaboration is a major highlight in an already busy year as she continues gaining popularity with her recent single, 'Where Do We Go.' Working alongside a global icon like Kidjo solidifies her position as one of Africa’s exciting new talents.

As the 'Queen of African Music,' Kidjo's upcoming single not only showcases this collaboration but also serves as a prelude to her well-awaited album, ‘Hope!!,’ which is scheduled for release on April 24. Along with Davido and The Cavemen, this album promises to deliver a diverse and rich array of musical styles.

Mark your calendars for Friday, March 27, as the new single will surely be a track to enjoy on repeat.
