Reality stars unite as Drea Dominique (Bad Girls Club Season 9) and Safaree (Love & Hip Hop Hollywood) have debuted the official video for Drea’s Caribbean-tinged new single “I Know You Want It.” Produced by Travis Kr8ts (K. Michelle, Dem Franchize Boyz), “I Know You Want It” is an upbeat track that delivers a classic message with a confident take: “If you really want it, you gotta show me.” Drea breaks it down emphasizing the value of her time, the work a man needs to put in to prove himself, and how he might just “miss out on a bad one” if he doesn’t.
Just as meticulously as she chose her team when bringing the track to fruition, the video was no different. Director Marcus Paulk not only has experience behind the camera, but in front of it as well, having been in the UPN sitcom ‘Moesha’ as the character Myles Mitchell. Paulk then went on to be a casting director, producer and for this video, the director storyteller that translates Drea’s lyrics into a magnificent display. Paulk executes the vision flawlessly with vivid scenes and stunning imagery.
The viewer is taken through the busy nightclub, to a neon-lit hallway (where Drea walks her sexy lioness-human), then all the way up as she and Safaree take it to the rooftop overlooking the city skyline. It is on this rooftop that both artists made a proud homage to their heritage as one dancer waves a Puerto Rican Flag (for Drea Dominique’s mixed Puerto Rican and Black heritage) and the other a Jamaican flag (for Safaree’s Jamaican heritage). Here Safaree delivers his verse impeccably. Drea then delivers her last verse before cozying up to him fireside before we are left with the closing scene of an empty rooftop. A sure-to-be summer hit, the “I Know You Want It” music video will be another in a series of wins for this skillful songstress.
