“My album, ‘Starr Girl’… I’m so proud of this body of work. I put everything into it, and I can’t wait for the world to hear it,” she said during the interview.

“Starr Girl” follows her debut album, “19 & Dangerous (2021)”, and her sophomore effort, “The Year I Turned 21 (2024)”, both of which helped establish her as one of Africa’s leading contemporary music stars. Since then, Ayra Starr has expanded her audience well beyond Nigeria through international tours, festival appearances and collaborations with artists from different parts of the world.

The new album arrives after months of speculation from fans, who had closely followed her studio updates and social media hints. Earlier interviews also revealed that she had been recording new music and exploring fresh ideas for the project, although she kept the album title under wraps until the official announcement.

One of the songs already linked to the album is “Where Do We Go”, which Ayra Starr performed during her appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show. The performance offered viewers an early taste of the direction she is taking on the new record.

In recent days, the singer has also begun counting down to the album’s release across her social media platforms, sharing teaser clips while continuing her recovery after recently undergoing surgery.

With two successful studio albums already to her name and a growing global profile, “Starr Girl” marks another important chapter for the 23-year-old artist.

Victony’s ‘SLICK Remix’ Video Featuring Summer Walker and Don Toliver: Review

Published

Victony has released the official video for the SLICK remix, and he shot it in a locker room and an indoor pool. The video was uploaded at midnight on October 16 and lasted for 2 minutes 31 seconds. Only Victony and Summer Walker appeared on screen. Don Toliver was on the song but not in the visuals.

The video started in a bright locker room full of wooden lockers. Women in matching light blue bodysuits dance around, with blue and white striped towels thrown on the benches. Later, the settings shifts to a tiled pool with gold railings, where women in blue swimsuits and swim caps posed in the water.

Victony appeared at the poolside in a black jacket with thin white stripes on the front and sunglasses. He stood still against the blue wall while the swimmers stretched out beside him. In another scene, he wore a shiny black leather jacket with glossy trousers while singing and making little gestures with his hands.

Summer Walker appeared in the darkest scenes. She leaned on a railing in a glittery two-piece under a sheer outfit, with only black behind her. In another shot, she wore a rust-coloured one-shoulder gown with big hoop earrings and bangles. The light hit her from the side, so half of her body stayed in shadow.

The dancing in the locker room and at the poolside suited SLICK, an Afrobeats song made for the dance floor. Summer Walker’s scenes, lit low and dark, suited her calm R&B delivery. The song came out in July 2026 and stayed at number one on Nigeria’s Official Top 100 for three weeks, Victony’s first solo song to do that. It also spent 13 weeks at number one on the UK Official Afrobeats Chart and reached number 2 on Billboard’s US Afrobeats Songs chart.
