1 2 Watch: Libë

Meet Libë (“Lib-ee”), the London-born, Nigerian-rooted, Sheffield-raised singer-songwriter making serious waves in the R&B and Neo-Soul scene. Once destined for a law degree, Libë swerved to chase her true love—music. And boy, are we glad she did.

Classically trained in piano since the age of five, Libë’s sound is a vibrant cocktail of R&B, Gospel, Soul, and Afrobeats. Think Marvin Gaye meets Snoh Aalegra, with a sprinkle of Erykah Badu. Her lyrics? Playful yet piercing. Her vibe? Absolutely magnetic.

In just four months, Libë has dropped three singles that are as smooth as silk and packed with heartache. Her debut, Never Been (Bad Boy), introduced us to a love story with red flags galore. Say You Need Me turned the toxicity dial up, while her latest, Birds of a Feather, took us straight to heartbreak city. Produced by Drew Horley (yes, the guy who’s worked with Burna Boy and Estelle), it’s a Neo-Soul dream with haunting vocals and swelling guitars. Fun fact: it’s already hit nearly 15,000 Spotify streams in just four weeks.

But wait—there’s more! Libë’s first EP, Yin: My Hurting Heart, is on the horizon. The fourth single, Dunk Tank, lands on January 31, 2025, bringing the soulful story to a tense, emotional close.

Whether you’re here for her lush soundscapes, her bold storytelling, or just the vibes, Libë is an artist you need on your playlist. And with five more singles planned, this is only the beginning.

Follow Libë on Instagram, X, and Facebook to stay in the loop—because trust us, you don’t want to miss what’s next.
