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."I'm a Fool" : Ayo annonce son nouvel album avec une ballade soul vibrante The second single "Paname" (a nickname for Paris and its suburbsParis Dreams, Paris Memories: The City and Its Mystique by Charles Rearick p37) was released in September 2017.
