BIBI Essentials

A disruptor. A singer-songwriter who defies genre. South Korean artist BIBI—real name Kim Hyung-seo—has been given many complimentary descriptors since her first single “Binu” in 2019. She covers an impressive range of genres, taking in bouncy pop and R&B, hip-hop and soul. Her 2021 Life Is a Bi… EP and 2021 single with 88rising, “The Weekend”, received justifiable praise. Meanwhile, her 2022 debut album Lowlife Princess: Noir exemplifies the dramatic tension in her artistry. A track from that release, “BIBI Vengeance”, is eerie, groovy and moving all at the same time.
