Bishop Briggs is the stage name of Sarah Grace McLaughlin, an English singer and songwriter born on 18 July 1992, and "River", from her self-titled 2016 EP, is the song that put her on the map. It's a stomping, heavy-bottomed thing, with her big, smoky voice riding a beat that feels closer to the dance floor than the coffee house, and it reached number 3 on the US alternative chart and has passed 485 million Spotify streams. The same EP carried "Wild Horses".
"River" then turned up on her debut album, Church of Scars, in April 2018, and Island Records released the follow-up, Champion, in July 2019, which The Young Folks placed in its top 50 albums of the year. She mixes indie pop's hooks with dance music's weight, and she belts like she means every syllable.
