Born Sarah Grace McLaughlin, Bishop Briggs is a 25 year old Alternative Rock / Indie Pop singer and songwriter. She wears her hair in a distinctive way with high pig tail buns. She was born in London, England... Grew up in Hong Kong... & went to college in Los Angeles, CA. So why am I writing this article about her? Because she has one of the greatest voices I have heard in a while.
She has been putting some music out since 2015 but has not been a familiar name to me. The first time I really heard a song of hers and dug deeper was at the beginning of this year. I honestly can not recall the day I first heard her, but I do know I was blown away by her vocals. I instantly downloaded her self titled EP. She has extended plays and a number of singles that have released. One of which was on the Fifty Shades Free soundtrack. Her voice stands out and has a unique sound. I think what made her stand out to me is she has a sound that is similar to Banks, which is another artist that I feel hasn't been given enough credit for her sound but has a great voice.
She recently put out her first album titled Church of Scars and it has won my heart over. It's been out a little over a week and a half and I swear I have all of the lyrics almost down. I wish I could give a top favorite song to check out but I can't because I love them all. At the moment I am jamming out to Tempt My Trouble but I vibe with them all! The vibes she gives are so smooth and a lot of her lyrics are incredibly relatable. I couldn't help myself but to share her with as many people as I can because I want to see her make it big. Check out her new album on any music platform or below for some full songs and a few previews!
In an interview with Billboard she said “If I’m not authentic, I might as well as be dead. Pursuing a creative field is giving a piece of your heart, over and over, and it’s not generally appreciated -- nor should it be. It makes you who you are.” Watch out everyone... Bishop Briggs is going to be the next big thing. She definitely worked her way up to my top fave artists!!
