Twenty-One-year-old singer/songwriter Zhavia Ward who was 17 in 2018, was one of the contestants on the inaugural season of FOX’s hit singing competition The Four, with judges Puff Daddy, DJ Khaled and Meghan Trainor. Zhavia quickly became the breakout star on the show and although she didn’t win the competition she grew her social media following to over 3 million.The performance of Zhavia on the competition was impressive and astonoshing. Later she was quickly signed to a million dollar deal with Columbia Records. Fans patiently awaited for the singer’s debut single and now they have it with the release of the song from Zhavia named Candlelight. Fans had many positive emotions on the debut song.
Previously Zhavia appeared on the Deadpool 2 soundtrack, making her mainstream debut alongside French Montana, Diplo and Lil Pump on “Welcome To The Party”. This led to let Zhavia have some credibility to become a upcoming talent. The Zhavia Candlelight single is her solo debut.
“I’m so excited to release my first single ‘Candlelight,’” Zhavia said upon the release of her song. “This song means so much to me. I’ve had this concept and some of the lyrics for a few years now and it has finally been put into an incredible song. I got to write it with one of my favorite artists, Somo. This song represents one of the hardest times I went through, where I felt I had no hope and for the first time in my life I thought my dreams wouldn’t come true. Over time I realized the one thing I did have control of was the way I saw the world and the things around me. Learning to always be optimistic and always believing there is a way even when you don’t know how, led me to where I am now. Always be a dreamer!”
The stunning visual was shot in Newberry Springs Desert outside Los Angeles and directed by Clément Oberto. Watch the Zhavia Candlelight visual below.
