Video: Arie – Better Man

Ariel aka Arie is a self made talent, from Miami, FL. Without major distribution, the once young girl in the church choir, now has her music streaming in speakers everywhere, making her a viral sensation. She’s caught the attention of the label Mastermind Music Group, who signed the singer / songwriter without hesitation. Arie first popped on the scene collaborating with Trina and City Girls on the bop, “I Just Wanna”.. landing her on Miami New Times and BET. From there, other notable artists have wanted to collaborate with her in the studio. One particular acclaimed songwriter and producer, Rico Love, has begun creating with Arie. We can look forward to their music in 2020. That year is also the expected release date for her untitled EP, which will feature this banger, Better Man.

“Better Man” was written and vocally arranged by Arie, but produced by Bigg D and Lamb. The video treatment was conjured up by Arie, who wanted to include shots that paid homage to her favorites, like Angela Basset’s classic climatic scene in Waiting to Exhale. As a strong vocalist, Arie doesn’t worry about competition. She pinpoints Beyoncé, Lauryn Hill, and Mary J Blige as women she admires and would one day love to share the stage with. Her motto is simply to do you, stay true, but don’t take life that seriously.
