For those of you who kinda-sort-maybe vaguely recognize Bibi Bourelly’s name, or maybe you just know her as the chick who wrote Rihanna’s “Bitch Better Have My Money,” you’re about to get very familiar. The singer/songwriter recently popped up on the TIDAL record “Chains” with Nas and Usher, but that was just a warm-up, as today she unleashes her new single via Def Jam, “Ego.”
It’s reminiscent of another Def Jam female singer, Alessia Cara, in that it’s a raw, unapologetic record from a strong female voice. That’s the wave these days. The guitar-driven production gives it a rock edge, and it’s safe to say no one will be thinking about RiRi when they hear BiBi anymore.
