For this post I decided to revisit Lioness’ body of work, like with “Linyenga”, Lioness uses a very distinct and unique beat. The song is a fusion of a more traditional hip-hop beat and R&B. Both the track and the music video follow many of the conventions of American hip-hop.  The production is also on par with, and in some cases superior to many more famous western artists. 

Through the lyrics, Lioness delivers a message of self-assurance and determination, celebrating the resilience and strength of a modern-day superstar. Her confident delivery and empowering lyrics serve as a reminder to embrace one’s individuality and pursue one’s dreams without hesitation. This message is reinforced strongly with the imagery of the music video. Throughout the video we hear her chasing the dream of being a superstar, we see her dressed in a suit like a powerful ceo, dancing in a golden palace, and finally dancing on center stage. Through both the lyrics and video we see exactly how far Lioness’ plans to go in her career, and based on the quality of her work, these goals seem very much within her reach.

Another very strong aspect of “Superstar” is Lioness’s impeccable flow and delivery. Her smooth vocals showcase her strong vocal range.

In addition to Lioness’s stellar vocal performance, the song also benefits from a strong hook that catches your attention as soon as the song begins. Overall, “Superstar” by Lioness is a testament to the artist’s talent and artistry. With its infectious energy, empowering lyrics, and polished production, the song is a standout addition to the contemporary hip-hop and R&B landscape. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Lioness or discovering her music for the first time, “Superstar” is guaranteed to leave you feeling inspired and ready to conquer the world.
