Artist Review - Briya Jordan

If there is one thing that is proved over and over again in this new age of communication - it's that there is a lot (and I mean A LOT) of talent out there. It seems like every week someone introduces me to a thriving, passionate, and deeply committed individual making music and hustling, deserving of attention, but lost in the quagmire of sensory overload that is modern media. With that in mind, let's take a look at the following music video. 

Briya Jordan is such a talent, a (beautiful) 22-year-old young woman with a song lineup that never disappoints. She's a lyricist and a songwriter - her vocal style is essentially melodic rap; it's like she has all the singing chops she needs but seems to favor speech rhythms as a platform for her often poetically profound lyrics (see the above "On My Own") Ms. Jordan is a strong female figure, but her strength is tempered with an attractive feminity allowing her to show a vulnerability rarely seen in the hip-hop world. 

Case in point, in "Prove It" we see Briya dressed down amidst broken cars singing about being independent, which is awesome, but seemingly open to the idea of seeing what's in the "Duffle Bag." There's a comedic element here, but its homage to gangster culture comes off as very real. 

Briya Jordan is available on just about every social media - she's got a thriving IG page here, as well as a YT channel (which I already subbed to, so you should too), and looking forward to anything else she puts out.
