Consistent with her color-themed Made Of Gold and Dream In Color projects, indie r&b/pop sensation Shenna debuts the sultry new music video for her high-energy single “Magenta.”

My producer Austin Bello and I started brainstorming on the word ‘magenta.’ I told him I was very inspired by Bruno Mars‘ latest album and the old school yet fresh sound it has… The color Magenta is very vibrant and indescribable, which is the feeling I want a listener to get when hearing this song. The video showcases magenta as a touch that makes an individual feel sexy, confident, and fun in that moment. Every time the magenta magic touches someone, it immediately changes their mood and makes them feel unstoppable and desirable…  I have been obsessed with the character Poison Ivy since I saw Batman as a kid. I remember her seducing her victims — blowing a magic smoke into their ear which made them fall for her. I had a similar idea, minus the villain plot.” – Shenna
