Ghanian-American artist Amaarae delivered a jewel of a debut album in 2020 with The Angel You Don't Know, an infectious album of alté-pop so memorable it landed on our annual Best Songs of the Year list twice in a row: once in 2020 with "Fancy" and again the following year for the Kali Uchis-featuring "Sad Girlz Luv Money" remix that conquered TikTok and racked up hundreds of millions of streams.
