New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Two-time JUNO Award winner Savannah Ré and North Carolina rapper/producer Mez (J. Cole, Dr. Dre) bring unapologetic boss energy in the official music video for "Bands" released today via Universal Music. Directed by Nate Burland, the final visual accompaniment of Savannah Ré's No Weapons EP depicts the project's theme of self-discovery as, in scene after scene, Savannah is stunning, strong and confident in her power as lyrics like "I know they praying for an off day / gotta watch what y'all say" flow over the sultry YogiTheProducer and Beat Butcha-produced track.
Released to critical acclaim last year, Savannah Ré's sophomore EP No Weapons recently earned two JUNO nominations with "WTF" up for Contemporary R&B/Soul Recording of the Year JUNO Award and "Last One (feat. Dylan Sinclair)" earning her her third consecutive nomination for Traditional R&B/Soul Recording of the Year following her two historic wins making her the only artist to receive this award to date.
In addition to her JUNO count now reaching five nominations, Savannah's blessings have continued with the SOCAN Foundation naming her a Grand Prize Recipient of the 2022 Her
