Ayo

Ayọ is the fifth studio album by German singer and songwriter Ayọ, released on 6 October 2017 by Ogun Music. In an interview, the singer explains the reason why she took the unusual step to name not her first but her fifth album after herself: "My previous records were me, but this record is all of me. It's like a new beginning where I can truly be myself for the first time without having to explain my mission, or myself." The music on the new album aims to blend folk reggae, pop and hip-hop with soul-infused vibes. The first single from the album, "I'm a Fool", was released in June 2017. The second single "Paname" was released in September 2017. The song was named after the gypsy name for Paris. For both singles a music video was published. The album was written over the last three to four years during a time of great personal and career changes. The songs were recorded in Brooklyn, New York in the singer's apartment on her laptop or even on her phone.
