Oozing confidence, danceability, and slight conceit, Roc Nation’s newest protégée, Beninese-Nigerian, Grammy-nominated Afrobeats superstar Ayra Starr wows us with another fiery new single, 'Hot Body'.

Having declared 'Hot Body' the “Song of the Summer, Winter and Harmattan” (via her Instagram caption for the song release), the Sabi Girl is showing no signs of stopping.

The track follows the release of her single 'Gimme Dat' featuring Nigerian Afrobeats heavyweight Wizkid, and admitting in a Genius interview that she’s not used to making sexy songs but wants her songs to inspire confidence, she has delivered on assignment with 'Hot Body'.

It’s really in the name. Produced by Ragee, the same producer responsible for her hit 'Commas' on The Year I Turned 21 (Deluxe), with bonus production by The Elements, 'Hot Body' is already shaping up to be etched into the hall of fame of decadent and luxurious confidence anthems.

Ayra diverges slightly from her Afrobeats-dominant discography with this track. Delicately tinged with Dancehall sounds, slow drums, and a simplistically sexy melody, the focus is on the movement. She sings, “Body be dancing / Slow whine Summer body so fine.”

'Hot Body goes beyond the shiny veneer of sheer confidence, but delves into a more indulgent kind of self-acceptance. This is evident in the rollout, where Ayra threw a Hot Body-themed party in Miami, then held a Hot Body Takeover fitness event at John Reed LA.

We’re definitely excited for this new era for Ayra Starr – turning up the sexy and maturing with stardom.
