Bridget Kelly left her heart on the stage at the ESSENCE Music Festival. The Roc Nation songstress debuted two new songs during her soulful set in New Orleans over the weekend.
She won over some new fans as she belted out “Special Delivery,” a personal song about getting your heart broken. By the end of her emotional performance, tears were streaming down her face.
She wiped away her tears and embarked on the “happy chapter” of her journey with the upbeat “This Love,” the first single off her debut album.
“Even when I’m heartbroken and down, I still love love,” the impassioned singer told the crowd.
Frank Ocean wrote “Thinking about Forever” for Bridget Kelly. That’s a fact. He wrote it for her as a performer at Roc Nation.
In my opinion, her versions (check out the acoustic version in particular) are much better than Frank’s. But of course Black Panther is entitled to share his hostile opinion, too. Just listen for yourselves and decide. Do take anyone’s work for it. That’s what entertainment is all about.
I love all of Jay-Z artists but he needs to promote them equally. Melanie Fiona, Bridget Kelly, and Alexis Jordan should be receiving the same treatment as Rita Ora is getting. I love Rita, but but fellow Roc Nation female singers need promo too
I think she is way more talented than Rita Ora and this girl really tells a story, look at her tears.. It is heartbreaking. The single sounds epic btw.

@Black Pantha, What does that have to do with anything? I just don’t understand where your anger is coming from.
