Ayra Starr ignites the summer with Hot Body, an explosive Afrobeats single set to dominate dancefloors worldwide.
Ayra Starr, the GRAMMY-nominated global Afrobeats icon, continues to cement her position as one of the most influential contemporary music artists with the release of her new single, ‘Hot Body‘. Available now via Mavin Records and Republic, the track bursts onto the summer scene with a magnetic sound crafted for the dancefloor, driven by immersive production and her unmistakable vocal presence.
With a rhythmic, synthetic bassline as its foundation, accompanied by warm Afrobeats percussion, ‘Hot Body‘ blends sensuality and energy with Ayra Starr’s signature vocal fluidity. The song was co-written with Deeno and produced by Ragee, who also produced her global hit ‘Commas‘, with additional production by The Elements.
This release arrives just ahead of her highly anticipated UK tour alongside Coldplay, including sold-out dates at Craven Park (Hull) and the iconic Wembley Stadium in August. These performances mark her return to UK stages after making history as the first Afrobeats artist to play Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage.
So far this year, Ayra Starr has achieved significant milestones. She became the first female artist in 16 years to win the MOBO Award for Best African Music Act and released Gimme Dat with Wizkid, a track that has already surpassed 22 million Spotify streams. Additionally, she made her Met Gala debut alongside designer Ozwald Boateng and won her first BET Award for Best International Act.
Ayra Starr’s impact extends beyond music. She is set to make her film debut in the adaptation of ‘Children of Blood and Bone‘, starring alongside Viola Davis and Idris Elba. With over 3 billion global streams, 1 billion YouTube views, and collaborations with artists such as Rvssian, Rauw Alejandro, and AP Dhillon, her influence crosses borders and genres.
‘Hot Body‘ is not only a musical statement but also a testament to her artistic growth and global vision. Ayra Starr continues to define the present of Afrobeats with authenticity, innovation, and a steadily rising international profile.
