“Lighter” Up! Tarrus Riley Shares Video For New Single with Shenseea ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ฒ

Words by LargeUp Crew

Youโ€™d be forgiven if you missed the arrival of Tarrus Riley and Shenseeaโ€˜s โ€œLighterโ€ video. It debuted Sunday amidst what was, for quarantine times at least, a busy holiday weekend. You may be alone, however: After just a few days, itโ€™s already topped 2 million views.

Most of Tarrusโ€™ new album Healing was co-produced by Riley and long-time musical collaborators Shane Brown and Dean Fraser. For โ€œLighter,โ€ Mr. Singy Singy enlisted the services of Rvssian (with whom heโ€™s previously collaborated on โ€œDonโ€™t Come Backโ€ and โ€œGraveyardโ€), who brought the most commercial track on the album โ€” and perhaps in the careers of either Riley or Shenseea.

When you have a big anthem with big pop hooks like this, you have to have a big video too, right? The team at Xtreme Arts entw all out with their mix of Kingston scenery and glossy studio scenes, creating a stimulating visual thatโ€™s being widely shared on Instagram. While the track clocks in at just a little over two minutes, the video manages to pack in some real story, following Tarrus and Shenseea as two lovers on a scenic drive.
