WATCH CRYSTAL TAMAR’S ‘SERENADE’ VIDEO

(Los Angeles, CA – June 17, 2021) – R&B singer Crystal Tamar premieres the music video for her single “Serenade” today. Filmed in Los Angeles, the clip for the soulful and sensual ballad was produced by Story Lit Films and captures Crystal Tamar in a number of gorgeous looks as she displays her flawless, hypnotic vocals and compassionate lyrics about true love. Produced by Christopher Duncanson and Michael A. Gordon, “Serenade” is the third single from her self-titled debut EP.

Crystal Tamar describes the video. “I knew the video for ‘Serenade’ had to scream love and romance from the rooftops,” she 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.”

The video also spotlights the talented and graceful dancer Sidney Johnson. Crystal Tamar says, “I thought inviting a contemporary dancer would artistically get that done. 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!”

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.

The audio version of “Serenade” is available on digital service providers and the “Serenade (Acoustic)” version featuring guitarist Ben Misterka can be viewed on Crystal Tamar’s YouTube page.
