At the stroke of midnight, social media singing sensation Bri (aka Briana Babineaux) released her debut digital single “I’ll Be The One” via the iTunes Store, Amazon MP3 and other major digital retailers. The rising star has amassed over 300,000 Instagram (SIMPLY_BEBE_) followers since a friend posted a cell phone video of her singing Tonex’s “Make Me Over” to You Tube this past January and watched it garner almost a half million views and spark a bidding war between record labels and producers to sign the college senior who has quickly become one of the music industry’s ones to watch.
The force behind Bri is the entrepreneuring motivational speaker and Atlanta-area pastor Marquis Boone who won the bid to sign Bri and is also the man who fomented the overwhelming success of former Atlanta schoolteacher Casey J who topped Billboard Magazine’s Gospel Airplay chart with the monster hit “Fill Me Up” for 14 weeks this spring.
The inspiring and uplifting “I’ll Be The One” features a balmy acoustic flavor and a message of comfort and divine companionship. It was produced by Marquis Boone and veteran mixing engineer Chris Carter for Marquis Boone Enterprises. The tune was written by one of Boone’s in-house MBE team of songwriters Khas Dock alongside tunesmith Chandler Moore. The digital EP features a radio edit, the full version, acapella vocals, an instrumental and a karaoke version of the song. For news and updates, visit www.brination.org.
