Amaarae announces second album, shares new single "Reckless & Sweet" with video starring Leomie Anderson
Amaarae has announced her second album Fountain Baby, and has released new single "Reckless & Sweet" to accompany the news, which arrives with a video starring model Leomie Anderson.
"Reckless & Sweet" is Amaarae's first release since joining Kelechief on "Fine Wine" in December last year, and lands with a video that stars models Leomie Anderson and Monyjok Ngor Deng.
Amaarae says, "Coming back after so long, I had a lot of time to think and reflect on what I wanted my message to be last time it was about confidence, this time it’s about love and faith. This is my sexiest video to date and what I love most about it is that young black women and men are about to see what our new energy is for 2023 and beyond. Moving forward we’re grown and sexy. We’re going to make sure we always look our best, talk our best, walk our best, and most of all we’re bringing love and romance back! Reckless and Sweet is a sexy song. It’s about being intentional with the ways we make and give love. It’s about finding the inner sensuality and confidence without yourself and sharing that with the world. As an artist that is exactly where I’m at at the moment."
The track also arrives with news of Amaarae's second album Fountain Baby, which will follow her 2020 debut THE ANGEL YOU DON’T KNOW.
"Reckless & Sweet" is out now. Amaarae is yet to share a release date for her Fountain Baby album.
