Ahead of the release, Ayra Starr shared, “It’s beautiful to see the ideas I had for a song that has a strong message of self-empowerment to myself and others while tackling naysayers be brought to life. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed scheming, directing, and shooting it.”

In a social media age where public scrutiny is amplified, “Bloody Samaritan” is a life-affirming reminder to protect our peace and to always big up ourselves.

This powerful stance has translated into audiences globally who are jumping onto the trend, taking onto social media with their smooth and laid back moves jamming to “Bloody Samaritan”. 

Ayra Starr added, “I love this track because I was unapologetic and assertive on it – something people my age often struggle to be, and I want my fans to feel that way when they listen to it, liberated of societal standards and expectations.”

Ayra Starr’s directorial debut comes just 3 weeks after the release of her coming-of-age debut album comprising of 11 unapologetic tracks all written or co-written by Ayra Starr herself, fusing Afro-pop, R&B, dancehall, trap and alté styles.

Brimming with a spirit that is audacious and defiant yet vulnerable, '19 & Dangerous’, coming-of-age album fit for a socially conscious Gen Z, is an apt title for this new chapter in Ayra’s blossoming career.
