Ama returns with a new eponymous album, after leaving Interscope and signing to Brent Faiyaz’s ISO Supremacy

Ama, the British R&B singer-songwriter, released her new eponymous studio album on Friday, June 19, positioning it as what Billboard described as a renewed introduction after a label transition and new creative partnerships.

In an interview published by Billboard, the outlet said Ama previously left Interscope before signing with Brent Faiyaz’s ISO Supremacy in 2025. The change in affiliation comes as the artist’s new project begins its run under the ISO Supremacy banner, rather than through Interscope.

Billboard reported that the album’s release follows what it characterized as Ama’s effort to re-establish her voice and direction in the contemporary R&B landscape. The report also said Ama is working with Bryson Tiller on the record, adding another high-profile U.S. R&B presence to the album’s creative mix.

The Billboard article also said Rihanna inspired Ama in pursuing her career goal. While Billboard did not frame the inspiration as a specific songwriting credit, the report presented it as part of Ama’s broader motivation behind continuing to chase a dream and return with a new body of work.

For listeners and industry watchers, the timing of the album matters in part because June releases can quickly become part of summer playlists and touring-era promotion cycles. The record’s Friday arrival also places it in the middle of the annual music release calendar, when streaming services and radio formats often rotate fresh titles into rotation.

Ama’s new album also highlights how label relationships and distribution channels can shape an artist’s rollout. According to Billboard, the move from Interscope to ISO Supremacy preceded the release, suggesting the project was developed and planned across at least parts of that post-2025 period under the newer label framework.

Billboard’s reporting set out that the album is arriving after both the label change and the addition of collaborator networks associated with Faiyaz and other chart-adjacent R&B artists. The article described the release as a return moment for Ama, centered on her own artist identity and supported by the creative influence and work connections she has highlighted.
