Kenya Vaun – Summer (Live Version)

“Summer” has been championed right out of the gate, RAYDAR professed, “Emerging from Philadelphia with a voice that echoes both the new and the timeless, 22-year-old R&B sensation Kenya Vaun is an artist on the ascent.” Receiving tastemaker praise, Joe Budden plugged the track on The Joe Budden Network, while Ebro Darden touted it on his “Discovered” playlist on Apple Music.

Kenya’s dynamic vocals immediately shine on this version. Over snaps and a head-nodding groove, she flexes her range with mesmerizing melodies.

For the live video, she sings in a dimmed space, creating a warm vibe for Summer. The camera moves beyond a piano and over flower petals strewn across the floor to focus on Kenya. Under the glow of warm light, she pours her heart into the mic, exuding raw emotion as the song crescendos.
