Sep 9, 2023This album is bold, daring, experimental, and above all AMAZING. Amaarae doesn't stick to one form in this record, and instead juggles between genres and does it so effortlessly. Records like this are pushing afropop and afrobeats as a genre forward, and I cannot wait to see what else she has in store for us.

Aug 29, 2023This is as close as a perfect album in 2023 as it can get. Co-Sign is literally an addiction laced in a song

Aug 5, 2023This thing deserves a Nobel in **** If you don't like it then your slayage levels are pretty low. I laughed, I cried a number of times, I sweat, I danced, I got shot, I ate and I had many epiphanies. Album of the 20s.

Jun 22, 2023Prayers answered. This is the most genuine, authentic, fresh and delicious thing that has happened in the summer and in the complete year so far. Afrobeat in its most innovative sound joined by a simply incredible, seductive and strong voice as Amaarae's.
I know this will stay with me for an incredibly long time, and I simply appreciate how this album is making me feel. So breathable. -
Jun 18, 2023It's hilarious seeing reviewers claim this album is "breaking boundaries" when it's literally the most generic crap that's been done a thousand times before.

Jun 13, 2023While other afro-pop albums are juggling between Afrobeats & Amapiano.. AMAARAE decided to make the boldest Afro-pop to ever existed. Fountain Baby is a much more improvement from the previous "The angel you don't know" album.. Definitely top 3 best albums of the year.

Jun 13, 2023A new standard has been set in the Afro-pop genre and Amaarae has delivered it with style, flavor, and all around ingenuity.

Jul 17, 2023She’s unafraid of uncharted territory and willing to step outside the conventional box Americans place on Afrobeats, all while broadening the umbrella of dance music.
-
Jun 16, 2023Some artists play by the rules, others revel in breaking them — and with “Fountain Baby,” Amaraae leaves no question to which category is hers, all while demonstrating how wide the umbrella of African pop can be.

Jun 13, 2023The oft-explored worldwide sensualist feels newly alive here, ‘Fountain Baby’ a prime exemplar of mind-expanding afro-pop alchemy that revivifies the weary spirit.
