Honey Bxby, armed with natural curls, red-hot attitude, and vocals built for revenge, has ushered in her next era with the fiery new single “Shame,” out now via Rebirth Ent. / ART@WAR / Warner Records. The track is a sleek evolution in her sound, style, and storytelling, serving as a soulful, stinging takedown of a disloyal lover that flips heartbreak into a power move. With smooth vocals over a hypnotic beat and an unmistakable nod to the Wu-Tang Clan, Honey is not pleading; she’s issuing a final check: “Shame on a n- for thinking he can play me…” The accompanying visual cleverly uses chaos erupting behind her while she sits unbothered, a perfect metaphor for walking away with dignity.
“Shame” arrives hot on the heels of the vocalist’s rising original holiday smash, “All I Want,” a sultry, tongue-in-cheek Christmas record that is positioning her as one of the few new R&B artists expanding into seasonal classics early in their career. Following her breakout year and the success of her most recent EP, Raw Honey—which cemented her as one of R&B’s most magnetic newcomers with collaborations from Lil Kim and Coi Leray—Honey Bxby continues to prove she is a fearless vocalist with a sharp pen and a clear point of view. With “Shame,” the table is now set for her most elevated, intimate, and fiery chapter yet.
