3. Bibi Bourelly Keeps It Real
German, LA-based singer, Bibi Bourelly has earned a reputation for not being one to mince her words (follow her on twitter for examples), a reputation she clearly embraces, naming her debut E.P.

Bibi is a strong vocalist, with song-writing chops and an ear for a hit – she wrote Rihanna’s BBHMM, as well as, songs for Usher and Lil Wayne. Her music is lyrically powerful as well, singing of love, hard times, self-love and female empowerment in ways that are best described as ‘real’. Through her music, Bibi speaks with raw, passionate and simple but deep honesty, cussing and all. Enjoy below.
