↳ who is Amara Imani

We all love the hits "mine", "freakum dress", "jealous" — they've all made it into our top songs this year, released by none other than rising singer Amara Imani. But who is the singer actually and why do we adore her so much?

Amara Imani Éwandé is a Cameroonian singer, songwriter and dancer. Nicknamed as "Princess of Pop& RnB", she has been gaining fame quickly, rising with rapidity to the top of the music industry.

Imani started her career on a feature on the single "Brown Skin Girl" for Beyoncé's Lion King Album when she was 20 years old. The latter had often praised the girl, saying "Imani reminded her of her young self". Before that, the Cameroonian singer used to upload various covers of songs like "halo", "saving all my love" and "just the way you are". For a short time, the singer had joined a band but their hiatus after a year saw the chance for her own chance in the music industry.

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ 𝗟𝗜𝗙𝗘 & 𝗖𝗔𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗥

Amara Imani Éwandé was born on October 7, 1999 in Douala. Cameroon to a Nigerian mom and Cameroonian dad. At the age of seven, she moved to London, UK as her dad got a job as Ingenieur there. Imani competed from a young age on in art competition, primarily in dancing, winning a lot of trophies.

So how exactly did our queen switch to pop? And what makes her so special for us, so important that we go crazy whenever she drops a single?

Imani launched her singing career at the age of 15 after sustaining a fatal injury to her knee that stopped the development of her dancing career for a long period. The singer had often said that dancing had been her career and she had only started singing as a side hobby. Imani gained her fame and platform in 2016, when she began posting videos of herself singing covers of popular songs on YouTube after her music group disbanded. In 2018 she gained the attention of Beyoncé, who had mentioned her account in an interview, praising the young girl. Her singing career took off from then on.

The singer was approached by several record labels but refused any offers, preferring to keep her career low for the beginning. She resurfaced in the music industry a year later in 2019, when she partnered with Beyoncé and Wizkid on the song "Brown Skin Girl" for Beyoncé's Lion King Album. After that, she signed under the record label Universal Music Group.

After the success of Brown Skin Girl, Imani gained presence in the music industry world wide. She then began working on her first single followed by her first album. The popular song "Motivation" was her first release, topping the charts for a few weeks. Imani had said after the announcement of her first single "my music will be a mix of pop and R&B because this is what I grew up with. I'm trying to create new things with the two genres."
"Slow Motion" counts as her second release with singer AMARIA BB as feature.

But let's just sway away from the facts and focus on her influence. With the appearance of Amara Imani, many doors of new genre mixes were opened. Who would have thought that pop and R&B went together. We have danced to Taylor Swift with her beautiful pop songs and sung our hearts out to Beyoncé's iconic R&B ballads but we have never seen both in one. It was only a question of time that the young singer was given the name of "our next Bey". With the release of her first album, Imani was able to break some of the records the Beyoncés had broken. the album "This is her" managed to stay in the top 10 of the charts for more than 25 weeks, a new record for rookie artists in the music business.

And songs like "diva" or freakum dress" proved Imani's point what she was trying to achieve in the music world.

And let's not forget her success off-stage. Especially in her romantic life, Imani was responsible for some big headlines after getting cozy with millionaire heir Evan Henderson. The latter had already expressed his interest in her music and often praised the girl, we quote "I love her music, she just gets it and manages to reinvent music. Definitely my favourite artist."

The pair officially met at the launch of the new beauty collection of Sephora in 2021, one of the first events after the long quarantine. Till today, the couple is going strong but went through many on-off phases between summer and winter 2022. Close sources say, wedding bells are ringing and he is planning on popping the question. Our next Jay-Z and Beyoncé? We can confirm that at least we have found our next rising Queen B.
