Ayra Starr’s “The Year I Turned 21” is OUT NOW
Ayra Starr’s highly anticipated sophomore album, “The Year I Turned 21,” is finally here! The superstar will turn 21 in June, what better way to celebrate than with a full-fledged studio album?
The Grammy-nominated singer has been building excitement all year. In January, she teased fans with hints of the album on Beat 99.9fm’s “The Morning Rush” and dropped the lead single, “Commas,” in February. This empowering anthem (nominated for a BET Her award alongside Best New Artist and Best International Act nods) urges those facing rejection to keep striving for success (“commas” representing achievements). “Commas” was followed by another hit, “Bad Vibes” featuring Seyi Vibez.
