Bibi Bourelly, the sassy singer-songwriter behind the cut-throat lyrics on Rihanna’s Bitch Better Have My Money has announced her debut EP Free The Real: Part #1. The EP is set to be released on May 6th via Def Jam Recordings with Part #2 expected later in the year. Her singles Ego and Sally have been blowing up all over the place so we can’t wait to hear the rest of it.
Bibi is basically hip-hop’s answer to Amy Winehouse with her husky voice, unapologetic lyrics and funky beats that make you want to dance. What’s more, she’s funny, down-to-Earth and full of genuine talent. As well as Rihanna, she’s also written songs for Selena Gomez and Essex rapper Nick Brewer and featured on Usher‘s single Chains and Lil WayneFree Weezy Album.
Starting from the EP’s release date, Bibi will be hosting a series of ‘Society Sessions’ in New York which are said to be “a mixture of performances, art and DJ sets from various people in you culture and, of course, a performance from Bibi herself.” Society Sessions will also be hosted in LA, London and Berlin but sadly not in Australia.
Expect big things from this one.
