19 & Dangerous

Cannot believe Ayra named both her album and the opening track after her age and generation - why? But her Nigerian afropop is so irresistible. The sonics are so rich and warm and just get you dancing.

"Bloody Samaritan" and "Fashion Killer" are total earworms 🔁 She sounds a bit like Tems. However, the mid-record drop in pacing and ballads and sad songs don't feel convincing for some reason. I don't think she wrote those and it shows. Kudos tho - lots of promise here
