[🇯🇲 dollybaby 🇯🇲]

Booo...No Guidnce deserves more love. Their vocals take me back to the 90s and 2000s.

[SHOOTER]

In my heart I know
God gave you wings a halo
Had to go away and fly home
So far away, but I feel you close...

After his sample of He Wasn't Man Enough helped take his single Last Last to #1, Burna Boy reaches even farther back to flip Brandy's 1998 single for Sittin' on top of the World. It's the lead single from his seventh album, I Told Them..., out August 25th.

[SHOOTER]

You shot your shot, I couldn't die for that
I feel like you and me was just a mix of good and evil

[SHOOTER]

Writing you this letter, damn, I wish that you could hold me
Pen to the letter 'cause with you I got no worries
Things that you do, it always hit and make my soul shake
I try not to but I often think I finally found my soulmate...

[SHOOTER]

Tell me, do you see her? She's livin' her life
Even if she acts like she don't want the limelight
But, if you knew her, she lives a lie
She calls the paparazzi, then she acts surprised...

Amaarae is a Ghanaian singer/songwriter currently based in New York who started making mixtapes while in high school. An internship at a recording studio while studying English literature in college led to an indie deal and the release of her debut EP in 2017 followed by her debut album, The Angel You Don't Know, in 2020. After a remix of its single Sad Girlz Luv Money with Kali Uchis goes viral, its success leads to a joint venture with Interscope. Princess Going Digital is taken from her sophomore album, Fountain Baby, released in June.
