Ama Serwah Genfi (born July 4, 1994), known professionally as Amaarae, is a Ghanaian-American singer-songwriter. She is known for her fusion of pop, R&B, afrobeats, and alté, as well as her fluid representation of gender and sexuality.[1][2] After collaborating with local artists and putting out a few non-album singles, she released her debut EP, Passionfruit Summers,[3] in 2017.
In 2020, Amaarae released her debut album The Angel You Don't Know to critical acclaim. The song "Sad Girlz Luv Money" featuring Moliy gained popularity on TikTok.[4] In 2021 the song was remixed with a feature from Kali Uchis and charted globally.[5] Pitchfork labeled the album "Best New Music" and named it the 19th best album of 2020.
On June 9, 2023, she released her highly anticipated second album Fountain Baby to rave reviews.
