As she continues to work diligently on her forthcoming debut album, Chronicles Of Love, Caribbean-pop artist Auraiya is also actively engaged in a nationwide media tour in support of the lead single, Pendulum. Having just shared the official video for the track, she thought it prudent to head out on the road to announce its release, and at the same time, use the opportunity to inform her growing fanbase about the upcoming LP.
Even though Pendulum went live on streaming platforms late last year, the visuals – which were directed by Auraiya and Paris Gordon – were only just published on digital and traditional TV. That said, Auraiya was a guest on TVJ Weekend Smile, this past Saturday, August 12th, where she talked about Pendulum, its video, and the album. She was also on Radio Jamaica the following day – August 13, and she’s got several other media stops on her agenda.
Pendulum is available on iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, and all other music platforms, and it comes to us courtesy of Rocky Valley Records. The video can be viewed on Auraiya‘s YouTube channel.
