Self-Love, No Apologies: Kathy Jenneh Closes Her Album with a Middle Finger and a Smile

Let’s set the scene. Imagine a late summer night, headphones in, and that first bass drop hits from Kathy Jenneh’s latest track — B!tch I Love Me. Within seconds, you're transported into a world of bold beats, glittering Afro-pop melodies, and a voice that sounds like it's been through fire… and came out shining.

Kathy Jenneh isn’t just making music — she’s starting conversations. With roots in Liberia and a current base in Texas, Kathy blends pop, Afrobeats, and R&B into a genre-fluid sound that feels fresh and honest. And in her latest single — the final track from her debut album Conversation, out this August — she isn’t asking for permission. She’s owning every inch of her truth.

“B!tch I Love Me” isn’t your average breakup song. It’s not about the one who left — it’s about the one who stayed. And that one is her. This track is emotional clarity in audio form, a powerful celebration of choosing yourself after heartbreak, betrayal, and the kind of self-doubt that lingers even when the door’s been closed.

Jenneh leans fully into her voice here — soulful, controlled, but never timid. Her delivery dances confidently over a sunny Afro-pop beat, layered with R&B harmonies and a subtle nod to early-2000s pop sensibilities. There’s healing in the production, but don’t be fooled — this is a war cry wrapped in a groove.

Due out August 8, Conversation is more than an album. It’s a journey. Across the project, Kathy navigates themes like anxiety, racism, maternal bonds, heartbreak, and spiritual healing. And with B!tch I Love Me as the closing track, it’s clear she’s ending on her own terms.

It’s not preachy, and it’s not perfect — and that’s what makes it brilliant. Kathy isn’t presenting some polished version of herself; she’s letting us into her real, complicated inner world.

Musically, Kathy draws inspiration from icons like Rihanna, Tiwa Savage, Queen V, and Yemi Alade — and you can hear it in the way she melds sensuality with strength. But where she really shines is in the message. There’s something unmistakably now about her voice. In a music landscape that still too often sidelines Black women or asks them to tone down, Kathy refuses to shrink.

She’s not here to be palatable. She’s here to be powerful.

If you’ve ever had to pull yourself back together, piece by piece, after someone or something tried to break you — B!tch I Love Me will feel like a friend. The kind of friend who reminds you who you are, who pours the wine, turns the music up, and says, “Let’s dance, baby — we made it”.

Kathy Jenneh is just getting started. And if this single is any indication, Conversation is going to be one of the most authentic and emotionally resonant debut albums of the year.

So go ahead. Put it on repeat. Sing it loud. And remember — loving yourself isn’t just radical. It’s necessary.
