Ghanaian-American singer-songwriter, Amaarae has voiced her thoughts on the limitations of musical genres, advocating for a more liberated approach to music creation.
According to her, artists put limitations on themselves when they decide to work within just one genre. She stated this in an interview on News Live Prime on ABC.
“Genres can be so limiting. Once you love music, you want to be able to express it in any way possible,” she stated.
Amaarae, known for her eclectic sound that blends elements of Afrobeat, R&B, and alternative music, has consistently pushed the boundaries of traditional genre classifications. Her innovative approach has garnered a global following, resonating with fans who appreciate her unique style and fearless experimentation.
The artist’s comments come at a time when the music industry is increasingly embracing genre fluidity. Many artists are now exploring diverse influences and blending different styles to create fresh, original sounds.
This trend reflects a broader cultural shift towards valuing artistic expression and individuality over rigid categorisation.
