Amaarae set for higher strides with her new deal

According to pop-culture journalist Olele Salvador, Amaarae's new deal stems from a co-partnership agreement with her independent label, Golden Child Entertainment Ltd.

He detailed that Amaarae's new home will be responsible for her day-to-day operations & career strategy, shows, tours, etc., working with Interscope, which released Fountain Baby.

With this new deal, Amaarae, believed to have crafted the pop album of the year in 2023, is set for high-striding milestones across the globe.

"With Bad Habit's experience, we're confident that Amaarae will break into new international markets more aggressively. Talk of the Asian and South American markets," Olele told YEN.com.gh in an exclusive chat.

These are the guys behind Burna Boy, and we've seen how they've been able to position him to become the megastar he is today. For Amaarae, we can also look at strategic international collaborations and high-profile endorsements beyond music. She has had her stint with the Grammys and VMAs, and I believe Bad Habits will be able to make a strong case to earn her some global awards in the next few years.
