BC Jean Survives Beyonce, Gets Her First Hit

Share

BC Jean–she’s 22, and we wrote about her first, in this column, last year. Beyonce tried to take her song, “If I Were a Boy,” for herself and claim authorship. In the end, this talented singer songwriter from Southern California got a $250,000 settlement and a deal with Clive Davis‘s team, which pursued her. Now BC has her first hit, “I’ll Survive You,” co-written and produced with the Max Martin team. Great hit, and I can’t help but keep hearing that tinkling toy piano reiterating the melody line in the background. BC has a great voice that’s unmistakably hers. The countdown is on her for her album. Good guys do finish first! Hear the new song in the video player on our front page.
