She’s the independent artist who came out of nowhere to win Objetivo Eurovisión 2016.
And Spanish sensation Barei hasn’t slowed down since then, as she proved on Friday with the release of her latest song and music video “I Don’t Need To Be You”.

The “Say Yay!” singer penned the tune in support of kids who, like her, have had to endure the jokes and disdain of their classmates. “I don’t need to fake, ’cause I’m more than a dummy!”, she says. Preach!
The track delivers a fierce message against bullying: “I don’t need to be the one I’m not”, “I never hurt no one for who they are”, “Just live and let me live”. And thank God she’s no one else, as Barei is just fabulous as she is!
Packed with electro beats, “I Don’t Need To Be You” is both current and danceable. A children’s choir supports the Spanish star, while a male voice helps build the bridge by repeating “Viva la vida”.
In order to tackle such a difficult topic, Barei decided to go big with the music video. She’s teamed up with Kidz On The Block, a teen dance ensemble, and serves us her trademark Eurovision footwork – but this time multiplied by 24!

Together with the new single, Barei has released quite a curious photoshoot:
Yes! She’s playing with spaghetti. What’s the point? Who cares, she doesn’t need to be fake!
“I Don’t Need To Be You” is Barei’s first release since parting ways with Universal, the label that signed her after her Objetivo Eurovisión 2016 victory.
What do you think of “I Don’t Need To Be You”? How does it compare to “Say Yay!”? Share your thoughts in the comment section or feel free to record yourself playing with spaghetti on the wiwibloggs app. Really, that would be so much fun if any of you did. 😉 *winks*

This girl never sold much and thast why she was fired from Universal. I predict the same conclussion for Manel, for the same reasons.
She herself said in an interview she just left Universal because they were slowing her down. So no @Henning, not even close.
@henning – Some sources say it was her who decided to quit Universal to start her own label
lol, I guess “she’s an independent artist again” is a nicer way of saying “she got dropped by her record label for totally bombing”
She could win Eurovision with this song! AMAZING!
