KIRBY's "Don't Leave Your Girl" Is a Timeless Neo-Soul Ode

KIRBY is stepping into the spotlight with music of her own. The R&B songstress is the heavy-hitter you didn't know existed, but that's all about to change now. KIRBY is the young woman behind some of the songs of the decade, like Beyoncé's "Die With You," Kanye West and Paul McCartney's "Only One," and Ariana Grande's "Break Your Heart Right Back."    

"Don't Leave Your Girl" is KIRBY's second single of the year. The Memphis-born, Mississippi-raised musician has managed to channel major Amy Winehouse vibes with killer production on this new track. She describes her sound as a blend of soul and country. It's soultry.  

"Don't Leave Your Girl" sounds classic, as if it suddenly blessed us from some by-gone era. It's timeless. In the infectious new track, KIRBY vehemently sings to her lover that she's not the type to break up a relationship,  "But don't leave your girl / For a woman like me / I'm not the type to put up with all your schemes / I got my agenda other options too / I got better things to do, than you."
