Nigerian singer Ayra Starr, has just released her new album, “The Year I Turned 21” now available on all Digital Streaming Platforms. The album features collaborations with American R&B singer Giveon, Asake, Seyi Vibez, Coco Jones, Anitta, and of course Ayra Starr’s brother Milar .
The album centres on Ayra’s personal journey: “This is a coming-of-age story,” Ayra Starr said. “The rollercoaster of emotions and genres intertwined tells the story of a 21-year-old African girl and superstar. 21 isn’t just an age, it’s a moment of change in your life. A time of necessary growth, hurt, realising your power, and love. Not everybody’s ‘21’ happens at 21. Whenever it is for you, learn from it and feel through it, that’s what matters.”
This album is coming three years after Ayra’s first EP and her debut album called “19 & Dangerous,” which had “Rush” that got nominated for a Grammy.
Ayra Starr is signed to Mavin Records, and she’s been nominated for the MOBO Award twice. She’s also nominated for three awards at this year’s BET Awards happening on June 30, 2024.

Ayra Starr is set to perform at the Glastonbury Festival for the first time on the Pyramid Stage in June. This is indeed a moment for her career and of course Mobstarrs all across the globe.
