Ghanaian-American singer-songwriter Amaarae has discussed the constraints of musical genres and advocated for a more open-minded approach to music creation.
In an interview with ABC News Live Prime, she stated that artists who confine themselves to one genre limit their own potential.
“Genres can be so limiting. Once you love music, you want to be able to express it in every way possible,” she stated in a short-video shared by ABC News Live on X.
Renowned for her diverse sound that fuses Afrobeat, R&B, and alternative music, Amaarae has continuously challenged the limitations of conventional genre labels.
Her creative methods have attracted a worldwide audience, appealing to fans who value her distinctive style and bold experimentation.
Her comments arrive at a time when the music industry is increasingly embracing genre fluidity.
Today, many artists are exploring various influences and merging genres to create fresh, innovative sounds.
