Genia: You can't help but dance and turn up with the glow up 'Damage' music video

Forget just calling it girl power - it’s strictly Genia and her gang-gang turning up from start to finish with a hard-hitting and very much necessary visual flex to her recently released ‘Damage’ anthem. The single goes hard but getting the crew together for the cinematic glowing? I’m here for it.

Pure flexing and inevitable fire from start to finish. Completely tap in.

Genia, the 23 year-old singer/songwriter shares new video to electrifying previously released track entitled “Damage” available on all platforms today via Def Jam Recordings.

She initially teased the track with viral snippets on social media, which generated over a million views on TikTok and counting. Fans immediately embraced Genia’s lyrics and vibe from the jump. The song revolves around a thick throwback drumbeat, channeling turn-of-the-century Pop energy. Her sassy verses give way to a chantable chorus. Taking charge, she proclaims, “Bad girls wanna have fun.”

It follows the recent fan and critical favorite “Give.” Receiving praise, MELODIC Magazineraved, “Exuding confidence and raw power, “Give” is a definitive track from Genia.”Additionally, Consequence of Sound attested, “Lyrics that nod to a windows-down drive on a sunny day complement an airy, glittering chorus for a track just over two minutes that leaves us wanting more,” going on to profess, “new music of this caliber arrives like a treat from the rising vocalist.”
 
“Give” landed in the wake of her mixtape 4AM IN THE VILLE, which earned acclaim from the likes of Rated R&B and more. REMIXD MAGAZINE sat down with her for an exclusive interview and professed, “Genia is making her mark with a refreshing blend of genre-less, vulnerable, and melodic music.”  East Side Vibes attested, “Genia really shines and shows her potential and diversity in her artistry. 4 AM In The Ville is an entertaining R&B project with so much to love, and it makes me excited to see what Genia has cooking up next.”
  
Get ready for a whole lot more from Genia soon.

ABOUT GENIA:
Genia is a force to be reckoned with. Fiery yet thoughtful with her pen, the 23-year-old makes music that, like her, can’t be put into a box. On her most recent single, “Give” on Def Jam, she delivers a fun, pop-leaning anthem for the girls. A departure from her last two EPs, 4am In The Ville & 4pm In The Ville, where she delivered melodic manifestos over speaker-rattling beats brimming with soulful samples and blaring horns. “I feel like I make music for everybody,” she says. “But mainly for women to feel badass. That was kind of my thing: to make bad bitch music, but also vulnerable music, almost like somebody’s reading my diary.” This raw approach comes from a lifetime of using music as therapy. Growing up in a turbulent household in Victorville, CA, Genia dreamt of escape. Through her grandmother, she found it first in Prince’s Purple Rain, and listening to consummate artists like Beyoncé and Rihanna inspired her to forge her own alter ego: a woman who’s as tough as she is creative, who handles her business. She was working at Walmart and studying to be a nurse when COVID hit. Amid the stress, she quit and turned to music. After striking TikTok gold in November 2020 with her version of Deborah Cox’s “Nobody’s Supposed to Be Here,” Genia went hard — refining her vocals, writing, and dancing. Now she’s deep in new music, with plenty more savage songwriting and nostalgic production on deck. For this young Def Jam star, this is just the beginning for Genia.

You can’t help but lock in on Genia from start to finish. Peep the details and get caught up in the cinematic fun.

Genia, the uncategorizable 22 year-old singer-rapper and fierce R&B phenom from the streets of Victorville, California, continues to defy characterization with “Souvenir,” the scorching new single + video available on all platforms today via Def Jam Recordings.  “Souvenir” is the first advance music from 4AM IN THE VILLE, Genia’s upcoming new mixtape set to arrive on November 10th.  (Track listing and release details to be announced in the weeks ahead.)

4AM IN THE VILLE is positioned as the follow-up to 4PM IN THE VILLE, Genia’s debut mixtape released June 23rd.  Included on the mix was “Introducing,” her aptly-titled smash debut single + video of early 2023, in which she found her groove, hitting #1 on the Soundcloud New and Hot: R&B Charts.  Five different versions of “Introducing” were issued in February – A Capella, Sped Up, Slowed Down, and an instrumental outside of the original.  Genia also revealed a new music video treatment of the single.  
 
4PM IN THE VILLE also included “Jaded,” an emotionally charged confession (“Ask me how I feel/ I’m’a say I’m jaded”), released in May.  Genia rode out again for the underdogs in June, on “False Prophet”:
