Veronica King – Ice Cream Sundae (Video)

As seen on DCTOP20:

A beautiful product of Panamanian-American heritage, singer-songwriter Veronica King rehashes classic, soulful R&B with a silken voice that conjures nostalgic vibes, prompts good times, and ignites familiarity. Her debut single, “Ice Cream Sundae”, captures the essence of a fun-loving, teenage love affair, while simultaneously evoking the sensuality of a mature, romantic relationship. The music video for “Ice Cream Sundae” takes the story of the song a step further from the point of view of a young man taking Veronica out on several romantic outings. The visuals combined with the lyrics demonstrate how he makes her laugh, smile, experience complete bliss while they are together, and, of course, “melt like an ice cream sundae” from his expressions of love.

“Ice Cream Sundae” was conceived when a producer from Jazmine Sullivan’s last album, Reality Show, connected with King and her writing team through social media. The instrumentation stirred their imaginations to the experience of falling in love. After some dedicated writing sessions, King and her team were motivated to push forward with this radio-ready ballad.

Heavily influenced by the musical genius of Stevie Wonder, Bob James, Donny Hathaway, Michael Jackson, and the late Aaliyah, Veronica King hones in on creating a unique and unforgettable sound that blends her eclectic, musical taste with Electronica and the sounds of today. Veronica is an explorer, thinker, dreamer – and her music dares to touch on love, both lost and found, passion, and life’s trying obstacles. In this way, Veronica King celebrates positivity in all aspects of her life and allows her music to precede her and inspire others.

KB The General Feat. CutDro – Black And Proud (Video)

KB The General and CutDro’s socially-charged ‘Black And Proud’ (out now via iTunes) gets a dope visual:

The black experience is one unlike any other. So much comes with being a black person in America that it will either make or break you. Regardless of the hardships we face as black people, we still rise and overcome the impossible. This song is was created to motivate, inspire, and bring about awareness to the emotions and realities that black people are forced to deal with everyday. In spite of it all, we still succeed.
