#NewVideo: Crystal Tamar Serenades Fans with Crystal Clear Vocals

As the third single from her self-titled debut EP. Crystal Tamar released the video for “Serenade,” a soulful and sensual ballad complemented by a creative and elegant video. “Seranade,” produced by Christopher Duncanson and Michael A. Gordon, showcases clear and powerful vocals from Tamar.

Produced by Story Lit Films, the video also spotlights the talented and graceful dancer Sidney Johnson.

“I thought inviting a contemporary dancer would artistically get that done,” Tamar said. “Kind of like that old EnVogue video where the dancer made you reflect on the meaning more than the group. Ms. Sidney Johnson, our lovely principal dancer out of LA, blessed our set in under half an hour and killed it!”

“I knew the video for ‘Serenade’ had to scream love and romance from the rooftops,” Tamar says. “I was honestly inspired by those Charlize Theron J’adore perfume commercials. You can’t watch those without yelling at the TV ‘GIRL … YOU BETTA!’” she says with a laugh. “It was also equally important to make the audience identify with wanting to serenade their own love and it not be all about me.”

In celebration of Black Music Month this June, Crystal Tamar is paying homage this week to some of her favorite soul classics with a daily, pop-up podcast series, “Crystal Tamar Presents – Serenade: Best Song Duets.” Streaming on her CrystalTamar.com website at 2 p.m., each episode of the five-part series features Crystal Tamar and a special guest R&B aficionado listening to and discussing songs from her personal playlist, sharing factoids, and personal memories. 

Check out the video below.
