Chicago R&B singer-songwriter Sonta releases new video for her titular track “Chocolit“ today, ahead of the release of her highly anticipated new project, Chocolit, tomorrow (Machine Entertainment Group). On “Chocolit,” Sonta’s sensual and alluring tone is underscored by the intoxicating visual. The release of “Chocolit” comes ahead of the release of Sonta’s new project, Chocolit, tomorrow, July 23rd.
In 2021, Sonta is leaning into vulnerability and playing to her creative strengths. With Chocolit, Sonta is reintroducing herself. After being stuck in what she calls a “love loop” during quarantine, she is set on proving her music can’t be contained in one category. Chocolit, showcases her multi-faceted personality as both an artist and a woman as she straddles the line between sweet, shy chanteuse and sultry, seductive dominatrix. The title itself is a nod to her sexy alter-ego and her embracing and unveiling her love life and friendships as a beautiful Chocolit woman.
Fans can also consider Chocolit a personal treat from an artist who’s more determined to prove her supporters right than her haters wrong. “This project is one of the best versions of me,” says Sonta, who had input in the artists she collaborated with like fellow Chicago rep Queen Key, the mixing sessions, and the steamy visuals. “I feel like I’m an open book, but I don’t mind because it’s so many chapters.”
