Nigerian Afropop superstar Ayra Starr is back with a new heartfelt single, “Golden Hour.” The song captures the feeling of feeling at peace in the chaos of life, wrapped in warm melodies and her signature vocal style.
On this song, Ayra Starr takes a softer approach, allowing the emotions to speak for themselves, without any unnecessary drama. The lyrics paint simple pictures of love, hope and cherishing the moments that matter. It has a more personal feel to the record rather than super polished.
The production is light and elegant throughout. The title has a warm feel that goes perfectly with the soft guitar melodies, mellow percussion and airy background vocals. The chorus comes in naturally and the melody sticks with you long after the song is over.
Ayra Starr is self-assured without shouting, allowing every line to sit comfortably over the instrumental. Her performance is sincere from beginning to end, and “Golden Hour” is a nice choice for listeners who enjoy relaxed Afropop with emotional lyrics and mellow melodies.
