~ Rolling Stone ~ Libianca Is the Afro Soul Siren Who Can Do Everything
She may be a new signee to RCA and UK producer Jae5’s 5K Records, but this 22-year-old veteran of The Voice has a world of experience behind her viral single ‘People’
Libianca may have fooled some of us into fandom. Her incredible talent as a pristine vocalist is the real thing, though. Born Libianca Kenzonkinboum Fonji, her exceptional control over her instrument was developed over more than ten years of training, seven years as a professional musician, and a season on The Voice, where, in 2021, she was coached by Blake Shelton (who she chose over Ariana Grande, John Legend, and Kelly Clarkson).
However, when the 22-year-old sang her latest single, “People,” into a suspended mic hung over a honey-brown backdrop, across the internet, it looked like she was flexing her muscle in a Colors video, reminiscent the Oxlade performance that helped make his song “Ku Lo Sa” a worldwide hit. It circulated on Twitter without the parody disclaimer that she included on Instagram and TikTok. “£100 to the first person that can give me the full version of this 😭 ,” someone wrote while sharing the video. “Why do afro beat Colors [sic] sessions bang so much 😭😭😭.” The footprint of that December tweet can’t be compared to her impact across platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, though: “People” has amassed over 50 million streams since then. She dropped an official video for the song this week.
