WHAT IT IS: By way of her bold voice, unfiltered storytelling and uncontainable energy, Bishop Briggs accesses and shares a strength that lurks just beneath the surface of sensitivity. Undergoing a transformation in the aftermath of personal turbulence, the L.A.-based songstress embraces a new level of confidence on her 2019 second full-length, Champion. Holding nothing back and pulling no punches, her voice and pen hit harder than ever in the process. “After you listen to this, I’d love for you to not have to Google, ‘How to go through a breakup,’” she smiles. “You can hear it and know you’re not alone. It’ll be okay. I’m just a songwriter and a truth-teller. Whenever I’m performing or singing, I just want everyone to feel less alone. I didn’t hide behind poetry or metaphors. I was honest.”
