September 13, 2024 – Today, legendary, award-winning star of stage, screen, and music, Vanessa Williams, releases the official music video for sensual, smooth R&B-inspired ballad “iLike Moonlight” – WATCH HERE. The sultry, mid-tempo track touches all the right spots, blending Pop, Hot AC & Soul genres flawlessly, in the way only she can, marking the third single off Williams’ first new album in 15 years, SURVIVOR, which was released on August 23 via Mellian Music / Mod Squad, LLC.
Written by DeValle Groove Hayes, Loris Holland and Amber Mitchell, “iLike Moonlight” was the inspiration of veteran songwriter and producer, Loris Holland, known for his work with Celine Dion, Anita Baker, and Mariah Carey. “Loris was phenomenal,” Williams adds. “The song is very dreamy and kind of percussive and sexy.” The stunning music video acts as a visual extension of the song, characterized by sequences of ethereal movement and dreamlike imagery that perfectly reflect the nature of the track and complement Williams’ dynamic and captivating vocals.
The “iLike Moonlight” music video was produced by Vanessa Williams and Liz Curtis, Christopher Todd Hall and Mod Squad LLC. Williams also directed the video alongside Sean Cheesman, who also served as the co-choreographer with Judith McCarty.
The 14-track album is an exciting, genre-defying collection of songs that reflect Williams’ rich and diverse musical catalogue.
