Launched in April 2021, the hub has already featured a growing list of African artists including Gyakie, Somi, DBN Gogo and Soraia Ramos. The 28-year-old Amaarae was named Spotify\u2019s Equal Africa Artist of the Month for January.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement comes on the heels of the release of Amaarae\u2019s single \u2018Sad Girlz Luv Money Remix\u2019 featuring Kali Uchis and Moliy. The song is off Amaarae\u2019s debut LP The Angel You Don\u2019t Know.<\/p>\n<p>Amaarae will be featured on the cover of the streaming service\u2019s Equal Africa playlist, giving her more visibility across the continent and the rest of the world. She will also feature on Spotify\u2019s Times Square billboard in New York, with \u2018Sad Girlz Luv Money\u2019 leading the Equal Africa playlist and being added to the Equal Global playlist.<\/p>\n<p>In November, Amaarae, an alumnus of Apple Music&#8217;s Africa Rising programme, became the first Ghanaian artist to break into the Billboard Hot 100 chart. She has more than 10 million monthly listeners on Spotify at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, Amaarae told Music In Africa that her new album epitomises today\u2019s quintessential young African woman, her experiences and her approach to life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re liberated mentally, emotionally, sexually, financially,\u201d she said. \u201dWe are also telling our stories in a much more refined way with a global perspective. We are much more confident than our mothers and our grandmothers.
