New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Having already garnered hundreds-of-millions of listens across all streaming platforms, buzzing LA based recording artist
Tai Verdes has scored yet again with his latest vibe-driven anthem 'A-O-K.' Today, the critically acclaimed singer-songwriter released the official music video for the summer-ready-smash-hit through VEVO.
Directed by Logan Meis (DaBaby, Roddy Rich, YG), the video takes place on a crash destined airplane with a hilariously relaxed Verdes in the captain's seat. Perfectly capturing the song's mantra - regardless of the obstacles put in front of us, positive thinking always pulls us through - a triumphant and comedic Verdes lands the plane safely in the end, much to the relief of all passengers. "
A-O-K" marks the latest single from Tai's highly anticipated debut album, TV which will be released on May 20 via Arista Records.
This fall, Tai will hit select markets for some very special engagement performances. The 7-city tour, which begins November 10th in
Santa Ana, CA, will include additional club stops in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Washington D.C. and Toronto (full list of dates below). All tickets sold out in the first day of presales. For more info, please visit www.taiverdes.com/tour.
