Bozeman, major US recording artist and actress on the Fox hit television series ‘Empire’ to create a remixed version of her smash single “What is Love.” The ground breaking collaboration has allowed two of the most vocally passionate Soca artistes to merge their talents with the US-based R&B songstress.

Originally produced by Timbaland and Jim Beanz, remixed by Trinidad’s own Kernal Roberts and Jean Mark “Pastor” Gittens this single has the potential to gather rave reviews and support globally. Do you believe in Love? V. Bozeman, Patrice Roberts and Kerwin Du Bois say Yes!
