Everything You Wanted to Know About Barlow & Bear’s Abigail Barlow
As both a powerful solo artist and one-half of the viral writing duo Barlow & Bear, Abigail Barlow is definitely one to watch in 2024.
The Grammy-winning artist, singer-songwriter and composer is probably best known for creating the viral, Grammy-winning The Unofficial Bridgerton Musical with musical partner Emily Bear. Barlow & Bear will also team up again to co-write the soundtrack for Disney's Moana 2, out Nov. 27. Last month, Abigail released her first solo single of the year, "Please Me," a playful pop-R&B track about living out a fantasy of being a '50s housewife that we haven't gotten out of our heads.
