Kuami Eugene praises Amaarae
Kuami Eugene articulated that her artistic style, often characterised by its alternative and eclectic influences, did not immediately connect with the broader Ghanaian audience, who traditionally gravitate towards more established genres like Afrobeats, highlife, and hiplife.
“Amaarae is a legend in her own right. The irony is that she has never faded from the music landscape; she’s always had a dedicated following. Her sound has always been unique and consistently innovative, but it’s largely resonated within a niche audience.”
“The listeners she initially attracted weren’t part of the regular Ghanaian masses. She has been creating waves within her circles for quite some time now. Unfortunately, it’s only in recent times that a larger audience is starting to discover and appreciate her work. Nevertheless, I am genuinely excited that people are finally getting to know Amaarae, as her talent is nothing short of insane.”
Amaarae, recognised for her genre-defying music and impactful lyrical themes, has increasingly captured global attention in the past few years, amassing a diverse fan base that transcends geographical boundaries.
