iGOTNEXT: Priscilla Rena




I know that you all have heard about Internet sensation turned Capitol Records artist, Priscilla Renea. This talented piece of chocolate has dropped her debut album “Jukebox” . THis hybrid of an album, or really a pop album. She mixes and jumps/mixes genres like Britney Spears or Kelly Clarkston. She is almost like a pop version of India Arie.




Renea is apart of a trend or new norm of Black/African-American girls starting out as pop artist doing pop music. And not being labeled r&b or hip-hop because of skin tone. Besides Rihanna. Who is not American... When was the last an African-American was labeled, marketed, and made pop music. Not saying it hasn't been done...but its been awhile. Refreshing to see....

WORKER BEE ( ACOUSTIC VERSION)


The website Concreteloop states"It’s almost hard to believe that Renea is not a seasoned woman in her 30s, but she’s clearly an old soul. Growing up as a child of the Navy, Renea’s album reflects lots of stories and people that she may have come across while moving from school to school and city to city, without ever growing roots."
