Sometimes independence is all you need.
Reva Devito will tell you that. A sought after top line vocalist, the R&B singer had one solo EP back in 2016, but now she’s gearing up for something that’s been ten years in the making, her debut album. Reva as an artist is all about taking matters into her own hands, hiring her own team on this release, co-directing, and self budgeting the video, now she’s ready to step back into the spotlight and show the world what she’s about. Today C-Heads proudly brings you the exclusive premiere of her brand new video for the album’s lead single “Cali”, a dreamy pop anthem that serves as a reminder to embrace every adventure and live in the moment.

“I wanted to highlight the lyrical content of Cali that expresses adventure with a friend, where you’re not sure whether there is a romantic aspect or not, you just know it’s something special and want to enjoy each and every moment with that person. “
“I knew I wanted to do a video for Cali and talked about a few ideas with my creative partner, Tiki. A few days later, I ran into my friend De’Angelo and remembered he had my 80’s Toyota dream van, and I thought this would be perfect for the vision. De’Angelo agreed to a daytime shooting adventure and we literally threw the video together within a matter of days. I wanted to highlight the lyrical content of Cali that expresses adventure with a friend, where you’re not sure whether there is a romantic aspect or not, you just know it’s something special and want to enjoy each and every moment with that person. The idea is that we’re on our way to California from Oregon, and making the best of our trip.
A funny coincidence with this song is that I wrote it back in November with no plans of relocating to California, but literally today my car is packed with most of my belongings and I’m headed down to my new home in Los Angeles.”
