Ayra Starr - Commas (Live Performance) | Vevo

Ayra Starr - Commas. An exclusive live performance for Vevo. Ayra Starr fulfills past promises and pushes Afrobeats forward on her spectacular sophomore album, ‘The Year I Turned 21.’ In many ways - including its age-centric title and lyrical candor - it’s an extension of ‘19 & Dangerous,’ the Beninese Nigerian’s star-making 2021 debut. That project played a big part in Vevo naming Starr to our DSCVR Artists To Watch program; her “Rush” performance, in fact, is one of our most popular in recent memory. Nowadays, she’s a wildly successful young twenty-something. You could forgive the newly mint zillenial for reveling in designer clothes as she hangs out with the rich and the hot. Well-earned, of course. But ‘The Year I Turned 21’ is preoccupied with money in a different way. “I’m trying to figure out a way to stay the same,” she rues on “21.” She recently told Apple Music that the track, in which she ticks off the years of her life (“19 I got a big bag”), freed her from writer’s block. “Commas”
