Singer Denyque Dontré is excited that her first video, for the single Summer Love, is ready to air and will be premiered on local television starting this weekend.

"I have been wanting to do a video for a long time, but I knew my first video had to be for the right single, and Summer Love is it!" the elated songbird exclaimed.

Jade Lee, the singer's manager, expressed that she herself was proud and thrilled about Summer Love, adding that she is optimistic about the song's potential.

"Well it does have that crossover feel and we are definitely looking at it on an international level. Denyque is a very hard-working and talented artiste, so we don't have to worry about quality and appeal of her music," Lee said.

Denyque says the idea came to her when she and friend and co-writer Charli Spence sat down after producer Neil Mitchell sent her the track.

"I got the track from Neil Mitchell, I vibed to it a little bit trying to figure out concepts. I knew I wanted to do something about summer and maybe intertwine it with something else whether it was partying or love.

"For me, Summer Love is just what it is - summer love. Finding some sort of comfort zone in your heart; mind or body during the summer season. Every girl, and sometimes guys, actually look forward to the idea of finding someone in summer to just chill and be with. It might last, it might not but it'll always be remembered as Summer Love"

It was then that Denyque and Spence co-wrote the catchy tune, and the rest is history. She says that working with Mitchell was amazing and shooting her first video was "incredible". Showering kudos on the team that worked on the project, Denyque said the set was fun-filled, and the entire crew was supportive.

At 20 years old, this singer/songwriter has reached a level of musical maturity that is far beyond her years with a distinctive and innate talent that promises to be one of Jamaica's finest and Denyque is determined to take her place in music history.
