Nigerian Afropop star Ayra Starr deepens her Starrgirl era with “Ms. Paper,” a fresh collaboration alongside French singer Theodora, and the pairing shifts her sound in a new direction.
The song sits as the eighth track on her 16-track third studio album, Starrgirl. That project arrived on August 14, 2026. However, the writing here carries its own weight because the pairing allows both voices to trade space without losing their individual edges.
Ayra Starr writes from a place of personal growth, and that shows in how “Ms. Paper” handles its subject matter. Yet the track also fits a broader lineup, because Starrgirl includes appearances from ZAYN, Leon Thomas, Wizkid, and Danny Ocean. So the album pulls from multiple directions while still holding onto her Afropop foundation.
Her recent output keeps building momentum too, because she has also shared singles like “treat u right” and remains signed to Mavin Records. Therefore, this new chapter in New York reflects where her sound is heading next.
“Ms. Paper” captures that transition neatly, but it also points beyond itself to an album shaped by movement and collaboration.
