Ghost / Five Star by TheARTI$T
Ghost and Five Star, two standout tracks from Newark, New Jersey, singer and lyricist TheARTI$t's soul-baring new album, Who I Am.
TheARTI$T creates music without borders. After graduating high school, TheARTI$T attended Essex County College to play basketball before making the tough decision to end her playing career after sustaining a shoulder injury. Soon enough, though, she dropped out to pursue a singing career, with "Sober" becoming her first hit immediately upon its release in 2023. The song catalyzed her rise to fame, and the buzz generated from the single traveled online.
Along the way, she received co-signs from cultural heavyweights like Maxwell, Snoop Dogg, Jermaine Dupri, Queen Latifah, and Raphael Saadiq, to name a few. After releasing her debut indie album, ARTchives (2023), TheARTI$T continued fortifying her growing discography with a steady stream of singles - "You For Me," "Love Somebody," "Easy," and of course, the expanded version of her highly-touted project, "ARTchives: The Gallery" (2024).
The Newark native's unique ability to explore themes of reflection, growth, and emotional clarity has helped crystallize her status as one of R&B's promising up-and-comers. Her latest entry, "Who I Am" (2025) - a project inspired by staying true to yourself - consummated her rise even further, providing listeners with a deliberate kind of introspection that is palpable.
You know that feeling when someone's gone but the memories stay? That's "Ghost," the new single from TheARTI$t. It's more than a song, it's a story we've all lived through. On "Five Star," TheARTI$t turns up the heat with an upbeat R&B vibe, celebrating the kind of love you brag about. Because when it comes to love, nothing less than five stars will do.
