Armani White & Samara Cyn: The best summer ‘25 anthem has arrived with ‘GHOST.’ on repeat mode

No lie? I’ve listened to ‘GHOST.’ at least four times already but my goodness this audio gem completely delivers with Armani White and Samara Cyn coming through in the best way possible.

Armani White and Samara Cyn won’t let summer end with ‘GHOST.’

The song is pure fire and I can’t get enough. Add in a visual teaser, too? Completely geek out over this repeat-friendly summer smash.

Platinum-selling, West Philly artist Armani White unleashes a hauntingly hypnotic new single entitled “GHOST” featuring Samara Cyn out now via Def Jam Recordings. It notably marks his first collaboration with the rising Tennessee disruptor. Additionally, it sets the stage for more music to come soon from Armani White.
 
Listen to “GHOST.” HERE.

For “GHOST.,” he incorporates recognizable Pharrell loops into a sonic backdrop that’s as unpredictable and undeniable as a haunted house. He leans into the production with a bold, bright, and bouncy flow until the beat drops and he declares, “And when I leave, she feeling my ghost!” Samara Cyn serves up a highly quotable and hard-hitting verse of her own, providing the perfect counterpoint.
 
Together, they deliver an irresistible otherworldly anthem unlike anything else you’ll hear this year—or ever.

About the track, Armani White commented, “It was Mark Ronson who gave me the fire and fuel to do ‘GHOST.’ He was playing ‘BILLIE EILISH.’ and ‘SILVER TOOTH.’ in a back-to-back mashup during his DJ set, and he told me about it. So, I thought, ‘I’ve got to make another one!’ Flipping a Pharrell song and putting drums on it has definitely become a trademark of mine. It’s another ghost that’s been haunting me, so why not hit them over the head one more time?”
 
Be on the lookout for a big screen-worthy music video to accompany the song in the near future.
 
It lands in the wake of “CUT THE LIGHTS.” Since arriving this Spring, it has clocked just shy of a million streams. Page Six sat down with him for an interview about the track, and Ratings Game Music summed it up succinctly as “another banger.” Plus, HotNewHipHoppraised, “His energy is electric, his presence undeniable,” while VIBE declared, “This is how you show the world you’re here to stay.”
 
Bringing this vibe on the road, Armani will open for the legendary T-Pain on his upcoming “TP20” Tour. The tour kicks off on October 3 in Oxon Hill, MD at The Theater at MGM National Plaza, canvases the Midwest and South, and concludes on October 26 in Lincoln, NB at Pinnacle Bank Arena. Tickets are available for purchase HERE.

“CUT THE LIGHTS.” was initially teased at the NFC Championship game where the Eagles went on to conquer the Superbowl! The track’s frenetic beat underlines a barrage of rapid-fire bars from Armani White. His cadence alternates between gritty and gravely intonation and tightly wound verbal fireworks. As the bass booms, he goes on to proclaim, “You can tell ‘em that I did it for the city…Cut the motherfucking lights.” He asserts his dominance with uncontainable energy and an uncorked kinetic flow.

After stacking up a staggering 9.2 billion streams, he launches another era now.

He closed out 2024 with “TTSO” which followed his Road to CASABLANCO. EP. It ushered him to the forefront of the mainstream, posting up over half-a-billion streams and counting, anchored by the success of the platinum selling viral hit “BILLIE EILISH.” Inciting critical acclaim from XXL and more, Billboard chronicled how, “Despite his big, bright smile and sweet demeanor, Armani White has been through some of life’s toughest battles.” HipHopDX raved, “The greatest strength of this project is how it positions Armani as able to hang on records with multiple generations.” HotNewHipHop assured, “This project alone showcases Armani's lyrical strength.”
 
Among other accolades, he has also delivered showstopping performances at the BET Hip Hop Awards, Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!, MTV EMAS, Dick Clark’s NEW YEAR’S ROCKIN’ EVE, Streamy’s and beyond. Plus, BET christened him a “BET Amplified Artist,” and MTV touted him as a Global PUSH artist.
