Bibi Bourelly—the badass 20-year-old who penned Rihanna's "Bitch Better Have My Money" as well as "Higher," soaring #R8-bound ballad that Ri's been teasing on Instagram—considers "Riot," which she is premiering here today, an "introduction to what I'm about and what I want." An edgy and emotionally driven acoustic bad gal anthem, the song finds a raspy voiced and strong willed Bourelly vowing to do whatever it takes to make it: You won't see me crying, you gon' see the fire in my eyes. "I want to give people the truth because a lot of people aren't so authentic," she told FADER over the phone last week. "It's how I felt in school, fighting against my parents, fight to be considered a real musician. For me it's about fighting to be heard and to be recognized."
Actually messaged her the other day and we will hopefully meet when she comes back !
