Ayra Starr contains 5 solid tracks with the lead song being ‘Away’. The video for the lead song also dropped on the 21st. The EP showcases her effective writing skills and polished vocal abilities.
The singer navigates love and relationships (“Away”, “Ija” and “Memories”) as well as teenage angst and vices (“Ditr”). It’s a joyful experience shaped by a sophisticated soundscape—electric guitar riffs and subtle percussion merge with her unflappable voice to produce a delicious cocktail of heartfelt and carefree anthems.
