BEKA BARZ turns getting cheated on into your new favorite song with “Wannabe”. The whole thing started when her first boyfriend did exactly that, which sounds awful but ended up giving us this banger. She’s basically doing everything herself here – producing under the name B3K, directing the video, even getting her wife to film it. Talk about keeping it in the family. The coolest part might be how she worked with this beat maker from Zimbabwe called EliQr64. They made the whole song over WhatsApp, and the guy doesn’t even speak English but can write it. They just went with whatever felt right musically, which is pretty wild when you think about it.
BEKA recorded everything at home, and you can tell she’s got skills. The song already caught BBC Radio’s attention with plays on 1Xtra and Asian Network, so clearly she’s onto something good. The video’s got some funny moments too, especially when she kicks her cheating boyfriend character out of her car.
If you dig artists who handle their own business and turn personal drama into catchy songs, you really should follow BEKA BARZ on Instagram because she’s clearly just getting started with this independent artist thing.
