Following the success of ‘Gangsta’, Darkoo is back with her brand new single, ‘Juicy’ featuring Hardy Caprio. Inspired by model Eva Apio, the sing-a-long ready track is the latest offering in Darkoo’s string of anthems. Complimented with a verse from Hardy Caprio, who has scored chart success with previous singles ‘Unsigned’, ‘Best Life’, and ‘Rapper’, the Diztortion produced track, according to music pundits, cements Darkoo’s status as a hit maker. It was directed by Capone and set in Los Angeles. The vibrant official video is a celebration of all types of women.
Speaking more on the message behind the video, Darkoo explains: “All shades of brown skin is beautiful – darker skinned, lighter skin – everyone is beautiful. The video is supposed to be big up and empower the brown skin girls and all women. But overall, I want everyone to relate to it. Eva is an influential person – she’s beautiful and brown skin, this inspired the lyrics. I want someone to be able to see a girl and be like ‘Yo! Brow Skin Like Eva”.
