Instagram singing sensation Bri (Briana Babineaux) who’s riveting and heartfelt a cappella camera phone video clips made her the darling of urban social media a year ago is at last releasing her debut album. The twelve-track project “Keys To My Heart” (Marquis Boone Enterprises/Tyscot) releases worldwide March 25, 2016. The radio hit “I’ll Be The One” is currently Top 12 on the Billboard Magazine Gospel Airplay chart.
The soul stirring set was recorded before an invitation-only audience of friends, family and fans at the legendary Doppler Studios in Atlanta, Georgia. It features a variety of melodic moods written specifically with Bri in mind, ranging from the Urban beat of “Love You Forever” (written by Christian Hip Hop star Uncle Reece) and the Pentecostal drive of “Lord of All” to the acoustic flavor of “Grace” (written by gospel veteran Bryan Andrew Wilson). Bri wrote one of the album’s most dramatic pieces, the riveting “Jacob’s Song” that features seasoned vocalist Sha Simpson on the “Desperate” reprise. Korey Bowie, an artist in his own right who has collaborated with the likes of Casey J and Angie Stone, produced the entire set and wrote a couple of the songs as well.
Bri kicks off promotion for the project with a free-admission album release concert Friday, March 25th @7:30 PM at the Harvest Time Church, 17770 Imperial Valley Drive, Houston, TX 77060. From there she joins the “New Artists On The Block” Tour with her label mates Casey J, C West and Kelontae Gavin. Here are the early dates:
