Ghanaian musician Kuami Eugene has described Amaarae as a legend whose talent is only now receiving the mainstream recognition it truly deserves.
In an interview with Doreen Avio, Kuami Eugene said Amaarae has always had a unique and consistent sound, even though her music didn’t initially appeal to the wider Ghanaian audience.
“Amaarae is my big sister. She’s a legend, though. But the funny thing is, it has never been quiet with Amaarae. It’s just her circle… That’s where she finds herself,” he said.
He explained that Amaarae’s music has always leaned towards the alternative side of the spectrum, which may not have resonated immediately with mainstream Ghanaian listeners who are more accustomed to Afrobeat, highlife, and hiplife sounds.
“The people she used to appeal to are not the regular Ghanaian masses. She’s been making waves since. It’s just quite sad that people are now getting to know Amaarae. But I’m excited they’re getting to know Amaarae now because the talent she has is insane,” Kuami Eugene added.
Amaarae, known for her genre-defying style and growing global appeal, has gained significant international attention in recent years.
