The soulful singer captivated the audience with raw and emotional lyrics, interjected with candid comments about her personal struggles.
“I see myself in Mary Jane,” said Barthe, who is the voice of BET’s hit drama Being Mary Jane starring Gabrielle Union. “Most women can relate to it. I got my outfit on but I’m a mess.”
