Artists featured on Ayra Starr’s new album, ‘STARRGIRL’

Ayra Starr is gearing up to deliver what could be her boldest artistic statement yet. The Mavin Records superstar has just unveiled the tracklist details for STARRGIRL, her upcoming sophomore album dropping August 14, 2026, and the buzz around this 16-track project is already hitting fever pitch.

The album will be anchored by five powerful lead singles, two of which feature heavyweight collaborations that have fans counting down the days. “GIMME DAT” brings Wizkid into the fold, while “WHO’S DAT GIRL” sees Ayra linking up with Rema—a pairing that promises serious star power. The remaining lead tracks—”TORNADO,” “HOT BODY,” and “WHERE DO WE GO”—will showcase the songstress flying solo, giving us a full spectrum of her artistic range.

What’s particularly exciting is how STARRGIRL is being positioned as Ayra’s most experimental work to date. Social media snippets have been circulating, teasing sonic directions that suggest she’s ready to push beyond the boundaries that made her a household name. After a phenomenal run that’s seen her cement her status as one of Africa’s brightest exports, this album feels like a defining moment. With August just around the corner, the anticipation for what Ayra Starr has cooked up is absolutely electric.
