Pop’s rising star Skarlett Smith invites viewers to experience a moment of unfiltered liberation in her latest music video for “Roar”, produced alongside the visionary DeMario “RioTheyNeedahit” Bridges and co-produced by Gerard Thomas (Destiny’s Child, Missy Elliot, Brent Faiyaz, and Coco Jones), a two-time Grammy-winning, multi-platinum producer whose credits include Cardi B, Jill Scott, and Ashanti.

Her collaboration with RioTheyNeedahit and Gerard Thomas ensures that every beat, note, and phrase aligns perfectly with the visuals, creating an immersive audio-visual experience that lingers long after the screen fades to black. Together, they have crafted a piece that is polished, vibrant, and deeply personal, proof that artistry is most powerful when it is authentic.
The aesthetic of the video is understated yet compelling, giving the viewer space to feel the music as much as watch it. Skarlett’s energy carries the narrative, a mix of playful abandon, quiet confidence, and effortless charm that transforms ordinary moments into something cinematic and memorable.
