Aya Nakamura and Ayra Starr raise the temperature on “Hypé”

Music news

Summer is coming at the beginning of March. Aya Nakamura and Nigerian sensation Ayra Starr decided to give us some heat on the remix of “Hypé” released this Thursday.

Aya Nakamura continues to cause a sensation since the release of her album “DNK” a year ago. After going on a sold-out tour, the singer returned to offer us a rhythmic track with a zouk atmosphere which goes perfectly with the promise of sunny days coming back. “Hypé” was already a hit before even being released on the platforms.

Indeed, Aya Nakamura revealed the piece exclusively during her appearance on the Twitch show “DVM Show”. Following its rapid release on social media, fans demanded its immediate release. And to the delight of its community, on January 26, “Hypé” became available on listening platforms.

Once the hit status was acquired for this new song, the queen decided to hit it a little harder with a remix in collaboration with Nigerian superstar Ayra Starr. An association that weighs very heavily in terms of notoriety. Remember that Ayra Starr’s hit, Rush, has exceeded 300 million views on YouTube. A few months ago, the Afropop sensation participated in the song “Big Fu” by David Guetta. Without a doubt, this cover of “Hypé” with Aya Nakamura should further increase the influence of the young artist on the international scene.
