BeMyFiasco

Albums centered around heartbreak are common, and for good reason. It’s an intrinsically human experience; an intangible weight that we virtually all carry at some point in our lives. But what’s so refreshing about BeMyFiasco is how she’s taken an album about heartbreak and turned it into an affirmation and celebration of her success and growth. There is a beauty in realizing what you left behind was only serving to hold you back, and a freedom that shines from finding a joy and power within yourself; a flame that was never snuffed out but now has the chance to burn hotter than ever. These ideas are wonderfully apparent as through-lines in BeMyFiasco’s debut album, and their carried into existence by her ethereal vocals, sublime lyricisms, and vivid, distinct harmonies. There aren’t many artists who can take intricate R&B and jazz melodies like hers and make them sound so easy - but BeMyFiasco makes each track sound like she’s been singing it her entire life.

This week we’re featuring “Outside The Lines” from her 2021 debut album Where I Left You. Featuring hip hop duo Little Brother (comprised of MC’s Phonte and Big Pooh - with Phonte also serving as executive producer for the album), “Outside The Lines” pulls back to the foundations of R&B. Touches of gospel influences, 70’s soul, and a cheeky reference to Al Green dot the track as BeMyFiasco’s vocals, a dynamite bassline, and a 80’s inspired beat provide a tidal wave of immaculate vibes.
