Bairi (@bairithesiren) gives fans a 5-track teaser EP entitled 2 Hold U Over. The sultry project serves as an appetizer to feed her dedicated fanbase ahead of her next full-length effort. The soulful songstress has captured the hearts and minds of many with her one-of-a-kind voice and dynamic visuals. Her personality is full of charisma and unrivaled confidence that shines through all five songs on 2 Hold U Over. If her new project were a hand, her song “Spring Cleaning” would be the metaphorical middle finger for all her doubters. Bairi is building up after a successful few years. She is best known for her song “Free” and her collaboration with GRAMMY-nominated Dreamville collaborator, Deante’ Hitchcock’s “Neck Up.” Fans have been clamoring for a full project single after the release of “Paraíso,” a cult favorite amongst her fanbase. In 2023, she isn’t shying away from her success and is further solidifying herself in today’s R&B landscape.

Bairi on 2 Hold U Over: “I have been taking my time to make sure that I make a project I am proud of. But to return all the love from my supporters here is 2 Hold U Over. The longer people wait for me to drop a full-length project, the better the loosies will be,” she laughs.

The project’s focus track, “Way Too Much,” starts the versatile EP with a bang. The Justice League-produced intro showcases her silky smooth tone in the perfect light. Ahead of Women’s History Month, Bairi’s liberating lyrics are the perfect theme song for women who embrace all aspects of womanhood. Fans of Drake, Sabrina Claudio, and Doja Cat would enjoy Hershey, Pennsylvania-bred singer. 2 Hold U Over offers an in-depth look into the mind of a woman who is open about intimacy, lust, and most importantly, the realities of her everyday life. Her authentic nature bleeds throughout, especially on “Studio Thots.” Only a few artists are as transparent as Bairi on her music and social media channels.

Black Skywalker, the rising artist with an undeniable buzz, drops his debut EP, I Need Therapy.

The new project promises to usher in the new era of hip-hop. “Rap music is in a dark place and I came to bring the light,” said Skywalker. “The type of music I make is best described as Outer Space Jedi-level rap shit.”

Black Skywalker and Chris Rosa produced the debut EP featuring the focus track “Pills and Alcohol”. The single describes a man battling depression and anxiety with prescription medicine and champagne.

The EP includes hard-hitting 808s, crackling snares, and spacey synths. “We in Love” is a melodic record with a bouncy bass and drums. However, the lyrics depict a flawed relationship due to social media and porn addiction.

Black Skywalker’s ‘Pain of Letting Go’ has huge production and raw guitar. The lyrics express deep emotion and heartbreak, making the EP’s inspiration very clear.

“Therapy” is a song that touches on the struggles of life and the importance of seeking help. The production is interesting, with dark verses and uplifting hooks. The second verse highlights the benefits of opening up to a therapist and encourages others to do the same.

“Slide with Me” is a standout track from the EP with great production and an infectious hook. It narrates the story of falling in love with the woman of your dreams and has an upbeat vibe that sets it apart from the rest of the EP.

EP delivers a relatable conversation, amazing production, and intentional songwriting. Black Skywalker calls it outer space Jedi-level rap music.
