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.
