Social media singing sensation Bri (Briana Babineaux) kicks off Black Music Month in a big way. She has recorded an eclectic mix of songs that will release as digital singles throughout the summer of 2017. The first offering is the rousing, hand-clapper, “So Good,” which hits iTunes and all major digital service providers and streaming sites at midnight June 9th. The intoxicating track opens as a pulsating dance song and then morphs into a quartet toe-tapper with Bri even referencing Harvey Watkins, the dynamic leader of the of the legendary Canton Spirituals quartet group.
The next single will be the airy, guitar-centered rock ballad, “What You Don’t Realize,” which releases June 23rd. Bri and Chandler Moore who sings the song with the Louisiana native wrote the beautiful track. Moore co-wrote Bri’s breakthrough radio smash, “I’ll Be The One,” which rose to No. 1 on the Billboard Gospel Digital Singles chart in 2015 and set the stage for her two Stellar Gospel Music Award wins this year.
The third installment is a soulful contemporary R&B styled duet, “Yea Ahh Haa,” on which Bri shares the spotlight with Ziel’s Keyondra Lockett. Jeshua “TedyP” Williams and Jo’dan Armstrong produced this balmy track. It revolves around the theme of falling in love with God. The two singers’ voices blend beautifully. It goes live on June 30th. The release dates for the remaining tracks will be announced in the coming weeks.
