Ayra Starr steps back into the spotlight with “Treasure,” a solo cut landing just before her upcoming album Starrgirl closes out its tracklist. The song sits as the 15th record on a 16-track project arriving August 14, 2026.
On this one, the production takes a leaner route. The beat leaves room for her voice to carry the melody, so the arrangement breathes instead of stacking layers. That choice lets the vocal delivery feel direct, almost conversational, while the percussion keeps a steady bounce underneath. It is a personal moment, especially since it follows “Heaven Baby” with ZAYN.
For anyone new to her sound, Ayra Starr blends Afrobeats, R&B, and pop across her catalog. She was born in Benin but grew up in Lagos, and she signed with Mavin Records back in 2021 after Don Jazzy discovered her. Starrgirl also features Wizkid, Leon Thomas, Theodora, and Danny Ocean, so the project stretches across genres.
“Treasure” works because it does not overreach. The production gives her space to own the record, and she does exactly that before the album wraps up.
